How exactly would this pass/no pass class affect my gpa?

So I'm technically signed up for a program (fulfills nothing) that gives me units. However, the program is only pass/no pass and is 1.3 units. Would medical schools still count this program as a 0 in my gpa when I'm applying?

I'm currently at UC Irvine as a chemistry major, and if I can manage a 3.85-3.9 GPA all four years, what realistic MCAT score should I aim for?

Also, would it make a difference when applying to medical school if I double minor in biology and Philosophy and have a concentration in Biochemistry? I'm currently a chemistry major, but I've heard from people that the minors don't make any difference whatsoever...

Edit: I would also like to apologize if this post appears to be a "troll post"- I'm a first year student who's just wondering how certain classes will affect my medical application in the future.

Whether you pass it or fail it, there will be zero impact on your cGPA. It will still show up on the AMCAS transcript though.

GPA doesn't have that much to do with your MCAT score. You'll have to think about what your goals are. Aiming for a 35+ is a good place to start.

No difference whatsoever. Medical schools don't care about your major, either. On the other hand, a particular major may give you access to particular opportunities, professors, and experiences that give you an edge in the process. But the major itself doesn't matter AT ALL.
