<p>I took the advice about dropping from 20 to 15 credits, which worked out well. However, I am still receiving bad grades in my classes, specifically multi-variable calculus. I began studying two weeks in advance independently, with others, and through a paid study group. I go to office hours, do my homework, and I even have a computer. Even so, I have not scored more than a 65 on any of my physics or math exams. At this point, I do not know if I should continue with engineering or not. My GPA is currently a 3.2, but I am afraid that this will later hurt my chances in seeking employment or grad school admissions. Any advice? Thanks in advance.</p>
<p>What are some of your weaknesses? Are you even interested in the material? How well do you manage your time between school and other activities? My suggestion would be to lighten your load even more next semester until you feel confident enough to take more credits. Until then make sure you maintain good attendance and consistency in your studying. Do what works best for your situation not what you think is expected.</p>
<p>A 3.2 is a decent gpa. Don’t pay so much attention to the actual grade you get your tests, pay attention to where you are compared to the average. If you get a 65, you could still be above the average and end up with a decent grade after the curve.</p>
