A Failing Grade Affecting Admissions?

I was wondering if PT schools care about the grades that you get in classes outside of their prerequisites. For example, if someone got an F in an English class one semester, would that deter schools from accepting them, even though their GPA is still above average and other grades are good/prerequisites good? I'm taking a class right now that I absolutely HATE and unfortunately it's too late to withdraw from it ;( but it's a super hard class (Molecular Genetics, don't ask why I'm taking the class in the first place lol).

I had several Fs on my transcript (non-trad, graduated from college 10 years ago, struggled with depression back then) and I was just accepted to a program. They care more about the program-specific GPA requirements over everything else.

I have a D in one class I thought I had dropped (dropped an entire semester due to depression), but it turns out I didn't because I said I wanted to take the final and never did. I'm not worried.
