Is it ok to take a few classes pass/fail if they are not requirements? I plan on taking my second language class pass fail this semester.

It's fine, I took a few classes pass/fail and had plenty of interviews at top programs. Not sure where this paranoia comes from since I've heard many people make incorrect claims that it "looks bad."
 
If your GPA is okay, you are not P/F-ing important premed classes, and the majority of your classes are graded, there's not really any harm in doing a couple classes P/F.
 
Thanks for the advice guys. Some of these annoying liberals arts reqs are really asking for the P/F tag.

make sure they'll still count towards your graduation requirements if they are requirements. I took pass/fail for classes I didn't need that I just was interested in.

Yep, I made sure. Thanks again!
 
?? I took a few language classes as p/f in college 15 years ago. Here I am, still in residency and not done.

For sure, nobody cared, but you sure you wanna do this OP? 15 more years from where you are now?

Well buckle in. Maybe I’m being depressively nostalgic but I can’t believe I started this process in 2003. I literally feel like a different human being now and I’m still acting out the decision made for me by a completely different person, my 19 year old self. I guess back then I figured I would always be the same person. Spoiler: it doesn’t happen like that.

I mean i still have to take exams where I bubble in the answers with a number 2 pencil for chrissakes.
