Your stats look similar to mine, and I wasn't offered a physiology lab at my current school either. Most of the programs are okay with it as long as you email them to say the situation and explain that there is no other physio lab offered at your current school. The only school that had an issue with it was MUSC but I ended up not applying because I didn't really qualify gpa-wise (3.28)

I took A&P I & II with labs at a community college over the summer. I had several advisors tell me that it did not matter that I took these classes at a community college since they are rigorous courses no matter what. If anything I think summer classes in general are a little more rigorous since an entire semester of content is condensed into a few weeks. If you have any doubts, I'd just email the program director/admissions office at the schools you're applying to!

I did all of my pre-reqs at a community college. The OTs I observed told me it was more about the grades than the location, too. A&P will be rigorous no matter where you take it!

Personally I think I'd keep the B- and retake. Having a lot of Ws might hurt you. If you retake it and do well they will probably take the average of the two grades. And maybe completing the full course instead of withdrawing will help you with the material next time since you will have done it all before.

I agree. Don't withdraw unless you're at risk of a D or F
