drop it. even if you retake it and get an A MD schools take the average and the D is still on your record. You don't need the class anyway, why let it hurt your chances? I don't think one W is going to be that big of a deal, especially if the class isn't a prereq.

I was leaning toward a retake just to "prove your academic chops" until I saw the 3.7 GPA and 38 MCAT. You don't need to prove anything to anybody, so go ahead and drop it.
Spend one hour of the time you save on coming up with a cogent-but-no-excuses explanation of your performance dip, what you learned from it, and how you grew as a person.
