C and W on Transcript vs Higher GPA

Considering taking a W in a course. I'm probably gonna get a B- in the course, but this hurts my chances of graduating with a 3.7 rounded, and I'd more likely graduate with a 3.6. I also have a C from last semester, so if I drop I'll have a C and W in consecutive semesters. Should I just drop and go for the higher GPA? How much will PE firms/other firms and B-schools care about the transcript? For reference, I'm interning in IB and probably interested in PE down the road.
