Dropping a class after Match?

Paying for College Access Programs (Questbridge, Posse)

<p>I was matched with Pomona and I am thinking about dropping a Foreign Language class(Mandarin 3). I took it freshman and sophomore year, but skipped it in my junior year. I started Mandarin 3 in senior year but I didn't realize I had forgotten a lot in a year. </p>

<p>I am struggling to catch up two years of a language and learn new material, all in the same year. Honestly, I am not motivated to continue struggling to keep a C in the class, trying to learn while juggling 3 other AP classes. </p>

<p>If I drop it, I'll have 5 classes(does Journalism count as an academic class?) and I might become a teacher assistant. As finals are approaching, I really doubt I can pass the class with a C, which I am currently getting. When I received the Match scholarship, I was getting a B in Mandarin and a B in AP Calc BC, rest were As. </p>

<p>Opinions on what I should do?</p>

<p>I will contact the Dean of Admissions after finals and see where I am at that point.</p>

<p>Btw, my intended major is economics and math related, if that makes an impact.</p>

<p>It doesn’t make an impact. When you were matched, you should have received the email/phone number of the Pomona QB liaison. Call them and run your decision by them. Prepare a well-thought-out case in advance and you should be ok. Don’t drop a class prior to asking an AO, though.</p>
