How do dental schools view taking a course elective pass/fail (if a course is mandatory credit/no credit or satisfactory/unsatisfactory, that's a different story) as a pre-dental student? They only state that prerequisites cannot be taken pass/fail, but I have been hearing that you are implicitly required to take every course for a grade, regardless of how irrelevant it is to your major or dental school. I have heard the following argument:
With dental schools being very competitive, they would look for any reason they can to rule out your application. Even though pass/fail courses don't affect your GPA, dental schools can look at your P's as C's unless you ask your school's registrar to uncover your actual letter grades on your transcript.
