Hi everyone. I've currently enrolled in only 4 credits (all i have left to graduate) and I'm looking at my first C in undergrad in Cell Biology Lab. I'm worried because the semester before I took only 10 credits so I could take the MCAT during the summer. I wasn't able to complete this timeline and now I'm probably going to get a C during a semester with only 4 credits. This was due to a significant amount of emotional stress and anxiety, but the highest I can achieve in this class is now a C. So.. a C and an A this semester. My GPA is currently 3.64. How bad does this look? I already have 2 Ws

Hmm... I'm not gonna lie. It's not great. Assuming you get a C, what will your cGPA and BCPMGPA be? Hypothetically, if you withdrew, would it be a major stresser to finish up over winter or spring (emotional or financial burden)? Have you already spoken to the professor about extra credit?
What about the MCAT, how is studying for that going? How is your timeline now?

You are applying next cycle/year? If yes, drop and retake or take something else. Nobody is going to question you about one class over the summer or whatever.

one C isn't a big deal, I'd finish the course, do your best, and focus on the MCAT

Oh btw I had about 6 W's on my transcript, but had a family problem one semester and a really high GPA. Noone ever asked about my W's with 10 interviews so far.

Id probably withdraw since its not required.
