Should I take a 'C' in my bio lab class?

I'm debating of whether or not to just take the C for this class and move on, or should I drop it? Mind you, it's only a 1 credit class so I figured it won't hurt my GPA that much...what would you do?

Don't drop it. Since it's only 1 hr, it won't kill you. Drops look bad. Just my 2 cents though.

A "c" should be avoided whenever possible. That being said, you should think carefully if withdrawing will leave a big W on your transcript. W's can be as bad as C's sometimes.

it's just a 1 credit bio lab, i say stick with it. I think adcoms know that labs are ****ing stupid and are just a bull**** grade, especially if your lecture grade is much higher (like an A).

Take the C. I got two C's in both of my ochem labs yet I still got into medical school. Just don't get all C's hehe.

Yeah dude or dudette, don't worry about it

are multiple Cs really frowned upon if they're all lab grades (all 1 credit)?

I am wondering why "multiple C's" in lab are a problem. I am assuming that you are doing alright in lecture? Try to find out why you are not doing as well in lab... Often times a lab grade is more about effort than intellect (IMHO).

I would take the C instead of the W in a 1 credit class, but try to stay away from getting a bunch of 1-credit C's.
