Pass/Fail Sociology Course

[whiskeyandrye]

Hey guys,
I'm a junior applying this summer. Science GPA 3.75. I'm enrolled in Introduction to Sociology and thinking about taking it Pass/Fail. I've never taken a Pass/Fail class before. Any idea how medical schools would perceive this?
My motivation is that it'd give me much needed time to focus on the MCAT.
Thank you!

I know there are a few schools with Behavioral Science course requirements (U of Illinois comes to mind), and I'm not sure if P/F courses contribute to fulfilling those. I'd look into the requirements for the schools you're interested in applying to, just in case, but otherwise I think you'd be fine. Good luck with the MCAT!

Sociology is so freaking easy! I only say this because I was going to take it P/F and I am so glad I didn't because I got an A+!
I am sure you could handle a course like sociology and get an A with your GPA track record If I were you I would not take it P/F.
