For pre-med students that is in med school experience. Which decision is better if I'm going for pre-med?

My concern is chemistry. I pretty struggling in that course especially with this horrible professor I'm taking. I'm having a C in that class. I don't know if should drop it or keep that C. Would a q-drop look more bad than a C or vice versa. I'm planning to drop it b/c if I'm going for pre-med, a C would screw me up. Help, guys?
Answer:
If you know with absolute certainty that you can get a better grade (preferably an A) in the same subject with another professor, you may be better off dropping your class. Problem is chemistry is a required prerequisite. If you don't ever complete it, you won't get in to med school. If you drop it and take it again but end up with a B, that won't look horrible but it won't look great. If you end up with a C, that would be a great deal worse than just staying in class now and trying to pull up your grade.Realize when you apply for med school, some schools will require you to explain why you dropped a core prerequisite... and the reason "I had a horrible professor" just won't fly. Of course, if you get an A the second time around, few will question your motives.Good luck!
