Failing class to get a higher grade?

<p>I might go down with a B in AP Calc BC. Would it wise for me to fail it and get a D so that I can retake it during summer? If I do get the A, it'll only be a 0.03 difference for my gpa. but my gpa is pretty low already (compared to the average gpa of where I want to apply to).</p>

<p>That is a truly cockamamie idea. Buckle down. Do your best to pull up that grade. If you can’t, be happy with the B. This is Calculus. Most people are delighted if they can get a B in that class.</p>
