This question can't be considered in isolation. It depends on your overall application and stats. Obviously the C would be the highest yield to retake.

You probably should have just started 1 thread about your application and chances, rather than 3 different threads with inter-related questions. Having everything in one place would make it a lot easier to help you.

Some schools do not accept prerequisite grades lower than a 3.0, and I believe a C is a 2.something as per PTCAS.

A C is 2.0 on PTCAS. Almost all schools I've seen say all pre-req grades must be a C or above (ie no C-). However, most require a 3.0 as the overall pre-req GPA.

Get an A in A&P II, retake chem I. Retake statistics online from a community college because that would be very easy to fit in.

Get an A in chem II that will forgive your C in Chem I. Otherwise I'd consider retaking chem I.

Once again, this means the pre-req GPA must be >3.0. I doubt there are any schools whose minimum requirements don't technically allow for a single C anywhere on your transcript. Whether you get accepted or not with a C is a different matter, but many people do.

Thanks! Yeah, I have yet to see a school who doesn't accept C grades (or below a 3.0).

I should have been more specific - University of Puget Sound states on their admission requirements that a grade of 3.0 or higher must be earned in each prerequisite course. I thought I had looked at another school with a similar requirement, but must be wrong about that as I can't find it.

Huh. The vast majority of schools I've seen just say pre-req have to be a C or higher, or sometimes they say nothing at all. Obviously if you have multiple C's you are unlikely to get in, but that is usually what the minimum is.
