<p>So I'm a high school taking Intro Microeconomics at Penn and I got a 63 on the first midterm because I didn't have enough time to study. I heard that the curve is really harsh. Am I screwed even if I do well on the next 2 tests? </p>
<p>I have heard the first microeconomics exam is very tough. In fact, there is a tradition built around the night before the first exam called “econ scream”</p>
<p>

<p>
</a></p>
<p>With that in mind, you are probably not the only one who found it difficult.</p>
<p>Wow really???
I didn’t find it really difficult, it’s just that there’s 8 multiple choice worth 5 points each, I missed 5…that’s already a 75 lol.</p>
<p>I didn’t have enough time to study because of other responsibilities but I did study for it but I still didn’t do well…
I guess I shouldn’t worry…There’s 2 more exams left. </p>
<p>Since you are in High School, do you participate in the GREAT program on line or do you on campus for that as well?</p>
<p>Nope. </p>
<p>Neither? Well, there’s a problem for you right there. You will be at a disadvantage come exam time. You might want to consider making time for office hours and switching to GREAT. </p>
<p>ETA: I think it might be called my Econ lab if you are doing the on line version. </p>

<p>No thank you. But I will try to go to office hours but the problem is that it’s 3-5pm. I’ll be only able to get there by 4:30.</p>
<p>Why don’t you want to do GREAT? That meets in the evening so you have plenty of time to get there. I guess if you don’t want to put in the work, better to figure that out now before you commit to attending a really tough school next year. </p>
<p>I don’t know where to go for that plus I don’t have time because I’m too busy. </p>
<p>That makes your entire story ring untrue. </p>
<p>Perhaps you should drop if you don’t have time to learn the material.</p>
<p>Well I sort of have time now. And I’d rather not withdraw. </p>
<p>Is there anyone good in Econ that can help me? </p>
<p>FFFFFFFFFFFF IM SCREWED</p>
<p>I’m withdrawing…I hope it won’t affect my admissions chance at Penn…I’m a HS student…(better than a D)</p>
<p>I have a question. Is it bad to start with a withdraw before freshman year? </p>
