Retake it with an "A" and move on. It would be a huge waste of time to retake the same class 3 or 4 times and honestly would not offer much benefit. A 3.5 is a great GPA and is nothing to fret about.

I'm honestly surprised your school would let you take the class again. Usually there is a policy in place that let's you retake a class you got a "D" or "F" in but once you get a "C" or better that's it. I'm sure different schools have different policies on this and some would love you to spend the $$.

Retake it and get an "A" and get some other things to make your application sparkle to the adcoms (experience, PCAT, etc)

Thanks for the advise.

Just ensure you end the semester with an A in order to average out a C on on PharmCAS in the class. It is a complete waste of time to retake the class a third time and it honestly would not benefit you. Just try and finish out with that A.👍

My school lets you retake classes no matter what you got in them. For UB (not pharmcas) they replace the grade (even if you did worse). but I got C's in a a few classes and they never cared that I retook them.

Retaking the course (three times overall) is not necessary. I think it might even make you look bad. The schools are going to look at your app and start asking questions.
