Ok, so ACS only matters if I'm interested in top schools? Ok.. just wondering. Thanks for your assistance.

So, my university offers two levels of organic chem and both are the same except one course sequence has an extra credit hour of laboratory (focusing more on spectroscopy). I've talked to the department and the chairperson said that the lab hour(s) are the only differences. Does anyone think that would really matter to grad schools? The organic chem sequence will be either eight total semester credits or 10 (four each semeseter, or five). Also, does anyone think ACS certification will really matter? I want to be prepared and the ACS certification program at my school is more rigorous than the non-certification program. Again, just looking to get some insight.
