Hi, I'm a University of Toronto student.
I'm interested in taking my upper year chemistry courses (orgo and inorganic) as a Credit/No credit basis (where the mark will not show; only Pass/Fail). I'm Canadian and American, and planning to apply to Canada and USA. My cGPA is a 3.2 so far, the past (3rd) year was a 3.75, doing MCAT this summer, and applying in October. Otherwise, I would prefer to do them after I graduate in the summer at another university on the basis of a conditional acceptance to a medical school (but I'd have only 4 FCEs in my last year, which might make some schools wonder why I didnt do the courses at UofT?).
Would Med schools accept the prerequisites without grades, and would doing so lower my chances of being accepted?
Lastly, on a side note, how necessary is research experience?
Thanks!
