Does anyone know if courses taken Pass/Fail count towards the course requirements for medical school? For example, a lot of schools require 2 semesters of English. I've taken 2 semesters of English, but one of those courses was Pass/Fail. I've checked multiple schools' course requirements page, and most say that all required coursework needs to be completed with a grade of C or better, but they do not mention anything about courses taken Pass/Fail. Does anyone have any insight on this?

This is a pre-DO question and the answer is no, a pass doesn't count. It requires a grade.
