Can you please help me decide what to do in this situation?

I am a sophomore in community college and I already have 4 C's on my transcript that are holding down my GPA. However, my statistics grade which is one of the C's was originally a D, but my professor rounded it. I want to email him and ask him to give me the D so I can repeat and then petition for a higher grade and raise my GPA up a little but, and this semester I am receiving a 4.0 and that will help as well.

I want to apply to the CSULB nursing program and my gpa for the 4 GE classes are A in speech, B in English, B in critical thinking, and quantitative reasoning which is my stat class is a C which brings me to a 2.92 GPA and I need 3.0 in the GE section and science section to apply. My science GPA will be a 3.6 and if I retake my stat and get an A my GE gpa will go up to 3.5 which will get me in the running. I was wondering if I should email my teacher and ask him to give me the D or I should stick with the C and disqualify for CSULB and apply elsewhere. I asked someone from the CSULB nursing department via email and she said that repeats do not factor. So they don't care about repeats as long as the grade is a passing grade.

Should I bother repeating? or should I just take the C? What would you do?

Can you repeat the class with your current C grade? I know its far fetched but if thats an option or you are already thinking about it, why not.

Just retake the class... Bust your behind and get an A!

I had a C in my stats class and repeated the class to increase my grade to an B. If you can find the class an an self-paced online option I would retake it that way so you can get it over with while u still remember everything u learned from the pervious attempt. Took me about 2 1/2 weeks to complete this class the second time

I repeated my psych class cause I got a c in it. It bumped up to an A. But because I retook the c my financial aid didn't cover it and I had to pay out of pocket.
