Anyone else paranoid about S/U (P/F)ing classes or AMCAS class changes?

I have been S/Uing courses all year to keep my GPA from dropping, and because one I got admitted my interest in school went to zero. My schedule bares only a slight resemblance to my AMCAS planned courses. Anyone else have this problem, or am I the only one who is worried about this? My med school admit letter says "must maintain competitive academic record and complete all planned courses", but I figure they really don't give a damn so long as I graduate and don't get any D's.

For the most part I think that you're right that as long as you're maintaining C's and above, they don't care. What the heck is S/Uing though? I don't know what they would think about changing a course to P/F, but I don't think that they're going to be ecstatic about it. Whether or not this would affect your acceptance, I'm not sure (I wouldn't think it would) bu rumor has it that a previous poster has had his acceptance rescinded because he changed a course to P/F.

As for swapping classes around; if you told the school you were taking some classes and then found out that those courses couldn't be fit into your schedule and so you took a different class, I don't think they could care less.
