<p>I recently applied to transfer to other four year colleges, all of which have an "8 class/course" requirement. I am having difficulty with my current CS class, and I'm thinking about dropping it, because I will definitely not get a C (the minimum grade for most schools to give you credit). What should I do? Should I drop it, or get a D or C- when I could be working on raising my grades in other classes?</p>
<p>Will I no longer be considered for transfer admission if I drop this one class? I’ll only have 7 courses, and there’s no telling which will be awarded credit.</p>
<p>If you definitely won’t get a C, then I think dropping it would be the better solution. You will have to explain why you dropped it late in the semester I think, but if you know you can’t get your grade to a C I personally don’t see a point in staying in it, when, like you said, you could be working with other classes. </p>
<p>Also, it’s not the end of the world if you can’t transfer this semester considering you’re a freshman, and even if you aren’t considered for transfer to some schools, there’s always next year.</p>
<p>Can you do summer school to make it up? If you’re not going to make at least a C, then definitely drop it. It’s just not worth the hit to your GPA.</p>
<p>This late in the year, won’t it show up as a W on your transcript?</p>
<p>I would think it would actually show up as a WF.</p>
