I am currently failing Physics 2. I think I might not be able to get a C and the Drop deadline is Friday. Do you think I should drop? Does it look really bad in the transcript? (it would be my 1st drop)

People who have been in the same situation, already-accepted pharmacy students, anyone.....please help

Definitely drop, I made the mistake of not dropping Physics 1 because I was scared and naively thought I could pull it up, a W is better than a D or F. The exams don't get easier, borderline C is no place to be if you are struggling. Just think, you have to retake the course anyways if you receive a D or F.

drop it like its hot, hell I drop when I had a B in a class because I thought it was gonna get harder. Physics 2 isn't gonna get any easier.

Def drop. a few W's wont reflect badly at all.. plus a D or F will hurt your gpa a lot so drop it!

I dropped trig the first time I tried it, two weeks into the course because I had failed the first two quizzes. So I have a W on my transcript.

I think you should drop it a few W's isn't that bad but a D can hurt your gpa badly

Just don't make W's a habit. I don't like W's just because I don't want to waste space or my breathe explaining W's, when I can be talking about something else (either during my interview or on my PS).

Although if it comes down to a C or below, I'll definitely take a W any day of the week.

Treat W's as fire glass - break in case of emergency.

Don't some schools allow a drop with no penalty? I swear there's a grace period (I think 2-3 weeks) where you can sit and do whatever and decide whether or not to go on.

yea, but W's occur when you drop after the grace period. I believe up to the 75% class completion mark (or something like that).
