Hi everyone. I'm currently a senior and I have decided to go into pharmacy this past summer and am planning to apply next year. I wanted to finish all my pharmacy prerequisites by the end of next summer so that I could graduate in 4 years, so in order to do that, I'm taking 5 classes this quarter. In addition to that, I am also working.
I am freaking out right now. I have always gotten A's and B's (current gpa = 3.54), but now I am getting a C in 1 of my classes (the rest of the classes I'm getting either A's or B's). I learned my lesson now, and next quarter I'm definitely going to take a lighter load. Is having one C bad especially during the senior year? I know that pharmacy schools like improvement, so I'm worried. This is totally out of the norm for me, because I know that I could get a much better grade, I just need more time. So basically my questions are:
1) Will this look bad for me when I apply to pharmacy schools?
2) Should I opt for late withdrawl? This would mean I have to stay in school for 1 more quarter...so is it worth it? I would also get a "W" on my transcript, but that's better than a "C", right?
