Pass/NoPass or Withdraw from Physics course?

I am thinking of changing my second (out of three) calculus-based physics course into pass/nopass or withdraw and taking two life-science physics courses next quarter.
I don't think it's worth all the stressing and studying so much for this class when I can take the easier courses next quarter (and get A's).
I know a Pass/No Pass will definitely look better than a W, but does it really matter if I withdraw if I get A's for both classes next quarter? Any inputs? Thank you!

What is “life science” physics? Are you sure that meets the prereq requirement for the med schools you want to apply to?

My school has two different physics sequences. The physics i am taking right now is for scientists and engineers. The physics for life science majors is for life science majors (average premed).

Oh so it’s probably calc based for one and trig based for the other. Well, just know that all your grades are calculated together on you AMCAS app to come up with your over all GPA. Do whatever will make that number the highest it can be. For what it’s worth, trig based isn’t a walk in the park either.

I think that life sciences physics will prepare you better for the MCAT. MCAT prep books have non-calculus based physics.
