Taking a class just for credit

Hi everyone! I am currently in my senior year of undergrad and am overloading with 20 credits (standard for my school is 16 credits). One of the classes I am taking is an anthropology class with lab (not a pre-req, doesn't apply to my major, just took the course for fun). I was debating whether or not to count the class as just credit or keep my final grade. I am doing fine in the class, but it is also a lot of work and is taking away time from other important classes. I also wanted to get a feel for how a pass/fail system works, and if it is really the type of curriculum I want when applying to medical school. If I count the class as just credit, it will show up as CD on my transcript. Would adcoms view this negatively? @Goro @LizzyM

If your school explains that CD = pass in a P/F class, then I don't see a problem.
