I'm taking a course this year and the marking is largely subjective based on the Prof's opinion. No matter what I try to do I can't seem to please the guy.

So far about 30% of the course have been marked and I have a C - which has never happened before.

I have 5 interviews this cycle and I'm worried this may affect my acceptance if I am to get one.

How do you guys think this will affect me?

I can drop the course and get an Withdrawal by Oct 15th. Do you think this is a better idea then getting the C?

Thanks.

Edit: I'm taking a semester of post bach which is why I can drop if need be.

What class is it? Since it isn't a prereq I wouldn't really worry about getting a C. Don't get anything worse than a C- though.

Its a Bat biology course.

I'm also not used to animal biology courses since I've been taken human related life sciences since my 3rd year.

I wouldn't really notice what grade you got in the class I would just notice that there is actually a bat biology class in existence if I were on the admissions committee. Why not shorten the name to Batology? :laugh:
 
I got a few C's in non prereq undergrad classes. I had 6 interviews and 4 acceptances. No one cares about bat biology

What if this becomes a D. Is it better to take the withdrawal?

Absolutley take the W. logically, do u want a D on your transcript + that being calculated into ur gpa, from a BAT BIOLOGY COURSE (seriously wtf? Haha) or a W? I would take the w any day. If anyone asks......i mean......its bat bio......theyll prolly assume u hated it and withdrew.....esp id ur previous track record is like As and Bs
