Let's say you have B in a class, it's almost the drop date and you know you can't improve very much. Unless it's a required course, should you drop it?

No. I deal with it, unless I believe I'm going to get lower than a B. Also you should ask the teacher for help and if they can't help you then usually your SOL, unless your somehow persuade the counselor to change the class and that usually means make one of your parents to get off from.work and they tell your counselor to change it. That is how it works at my school.

....if you just get a thrill out of wasting your time (and most likely money as well), go for it.
 
Another way is to convert it to P/NP. But unless you want to defend your perfect 4.0 at all costs, why would you bother? Focus more on learning and less on your grades.

No. Getting a B will not destroy your transcripts. Also, there is always room for improvement. If you are so afraid of getting the B, use the thought of it to scare yourself into studying and getting the A.

Agreed also having a lot of WDs won't look good when applying to medical school.
