Dropping AP classes second semester?!

Applying to College
1

<p>Hi everyone. My buddy whose a junior in high school has a problem and wants some suggestions.</p>

<p>He's getting a D+ in AP English. A low C in Pre Calc/Calc A honors. And a B- in AP Biology.</p>

<p>Before junior year, his GPA was around 3.7 </p>

<p>First semester is almost over and he has the option to drop some of his classes. I advised him to drop AP English and honors math so he can have the possibility of raising his grade the next semester. He is worried that this might not be good because it would affect his college admission if he just starts dropping his classes...</p>

<p>Does dropping a full year AP class in the second semester affect any admission chances? I doubt its good to stay in an AP class if you are just going to fail?</p>

<p>Does he seriously think that getting a D in English and a C- in math won’t affect his admissions chances?</p>

<p>He needs to drop down a level.</p>
