A lot of schools changed their policies post-COVID and no longer accept P/F if not taken during that first pandemic year.

They would retake physics either way, so would pass/fail or withdraw look better ftm?
I'm not sure I really understand and maybe it's because I went to a school where you couldn't retake credits you've already passed, but at this school are you able to retake any class for any reason regardless of grade outcome?
The bigger question imo: Is your friend in a position where they would get a grade worse than a C?
Could your friend ask us? It's better we know their specific situation with their degree and advice received.
