Taking Calc II at CC if all other prereqs from University

I was wondering if it will hurt me to take Calc II at my local community college instead of my university where I am doing my postbac program. The first time I took Calc II at my undergrad university I got an F. The only reasons why I want to take it at the CC is because the Calc II course will not fit into my schedule at my postbac university (conflicting times for other important courses). I want to retake it so that the grade will either be replaced (DO) or averaged out (MD) so my science GPA will be higher. I have done every single one of my other courses at my undergrad school or postbac university. Thanks so much for your help!

Calc 2 isn't a prereq and I doubt any medical school is going to look specifically at your performance or where you took it. That being said retake it as it'll bring your GPA for DO schools way up.

Yep, take it at CC if you want. It costs less and Calc is Calc no matter where you take it.
