Drop the class in senior year..help me!!!

Applying to College
1

<p>i came to american high school 2 years ago as a international student. (Korean)
i started to study in 2nd semester of 10th grade.
and i am senior right now. but i have a question.</p>

<p>i had full credits of math and science. (3 credits each)
but im taking calculus (honors) and physics (honors) now.
if i finished those courses, i would get 4 credits of math and science.
And my grades is B in calculus and A in physics.
but it is really hard to get B or even A in calculus.
However, in physics class, it is really easy to understand and to get
good grade. i try to drop my calculus class before the 2nd semester begin.
I asked my counselor last time at begining of 1st semester because i thought that i cannot
afford to take that class. But my counselor told me; if you drop that class, the 'drop' word
shows on your transcript and it might be bad effect.
I dont know what should I do then. i trying to drop calculus class begining of 2nd semester.
but is it okay to drop it or just take it?
Also, i want to go to state university in USA. not a private college.</p>

<p>Listen to your counselor. To drop a rigorous class (e.g. Calculus) so as to avoid a “B” on your transcript is not wise. There is nothing wrong with a B. Put in the extra work. It will be good preparation for college – completing the course, assimilating the material, and dealing effectively with a rigorous (and difficult) course.</p>
