<p>I feel like I'm spamming this whole forum with angry physics discussions, i'm very sorry :(
Just got an F (33% lol..) on the first physics quiz of this quarter. Last quarter I had an A that dropped to a B because of a last test, but I got D's on a lot of quizzes. Now I'm especially worried about this quarter..
Contrary to my grades I really love science, particularly life sciences like biology and chemistry, and want to be a biology major in college. I have been doing well in chem and anatomy this year and got a 5 in ap bio last year, so I'd say I'm pretty strong in that field. I even got an A in honors physics, but now physics c is totally screwing me over and I'm afraid of getting a C this semester. However, if I drop the class colleges might think I'm bad at science and will not accept me.
So, which is worse: C in physics c or drop the class with a WP instead of a grade? I know an A in physics c is obviously the ideal option but it isn't happening for me...so do not write that.</p>

Both would be ok since you got a 5 in AP Biology and you want to be a biology major in college.</p>
<p>@4kidsdad but which would be worse if I were apply to a top university? My two favorite schools are UMD College park (ILS honors) and Georgetown. I know Georgetown is an extreme, almost impossible reach, but would either one of my options be “better” for my chances?</p>
<p>You’re a junior. You don’t know that you will get a C this semester. After all, you pulled out a B last quarter. I would try to improve the current grade before messing uo the rest of the schedule…</p>
<p>@skieurope I’m trying to do that right now in case dropping the class isn’t the best choice. i’ve been reading my textbook since I’ve gotten home from school and am watching a bunch of physics videos on youtube. The worst part is that I’ve been studying really hard this whole time, but I have still been doing poorly. I’m just trying to be realistic now</p>
