<p>I'm currently enrolled in an AP Literature. I spend tons of time working on assignments and studying for tests, but currently have a ~80% in the course (lowest mark in my life). I already applied SCEA to Yale and my school reports were sent to HYP + Columbia. The dilemma is: should I drop AP Literature?</p>
<p>If I don't drop, my grades on the first report card would look like crap. I can probably pull the mark up to a 85 by the mid-year report if I work myself to death, however.</p>
<p>If I do drop, my mark will not go on my transcript, but I would have to write a letter to HYPC explaining the drop. (Right? or just Yale?) I'd take regular english next semister and get a 90+. I'd also get more time to spend on my other AP courses this semister. I'm taking an AP Lang next semister as well.</p>
<p>This course is starting to kill me from the inside. I have one more day to decide whether to drop or continue. I ended up with a 78 on first quarter, ugh. Is an 82 in AP english better than a 92 in regular english?</p>
<p>Wow I’m in the same boat as you… I also got a 78 last quater, which I really wasnt’ expecting. English is usually my best subject. But theni didn’t take AP lang first, so I’m probably behind. </p>
<p>The schools you’re applying to are pretty selective, so I’m not sure how they would view a B in AP lit… but generally speaking the grade you get in an AP class is the equivalent of one letter grade up in a regular class. So getting a B in AP lit is like getting an A in regular English. As long as you don’t go below a B, you’re fine :)</p>
