Hi,
I'm currently a Senior and will get my diploma around December of this year.
I took a Summer semester and currently in my Fall at a community college, mainly to show colleges that I am capable of college-level work and can also work with other students. I was in a private school until I was 15 (I turned 16 this year), so it was pretty easy for me to work with others. All of the classes have been on-campus. Because I'm busy finishing up my last high school subjects and prepping for the SAT's, I chose to only take one college course which is Biology 101. I should've started taking the SAT's back in my Junior year, but concentrating solely on my studies, I completely went through Junior year without thinking about it. I'll be applying RD to colleges immediately after I get my final transcript from my cc and highschool counselor which would be around the middle of December... not sure where I will be applying for sure yet because of the little dilemma I'm in right now. Also, the homeschool people I'm doing this through are accredited! Woot!</p>
<p>This is what my MC (middle college) transcript looks like thus far (All taken in 12th grade):
Psychology 201 (Summer)-- A
English 101 (Summer)-- A
History 101 (Summer)-- WP (Withdrew while passing)
Sociology 101 (Summer)-- A
---Summer GPA: 4.0---
Biology 101 (Fall)-- Currently at a C... My grade dropped completely when I had a loss in the family and had a test that very next morning, and a lab quiz that afternoon.</p>
<p>This Biology 101 grade is making me feel extremely discouraged, even to the point where I am considering withdrawing from the class. Aside from my terrible grade, she also admitted to us during orientation that she has a high failure rate. Hypothetically speaking, say that I do end up dropping the class and I get a WP for the grade, how bad would this look with my current WP from the History 101 class? Should I just strive for a B in the class and accept that, or withdraw and have two WP's? It would lessen the load that I have right now if I did withdraw, but I don't want it to have a longing consequence... if any at all.</p>
<p>Not sure if it makes a difference or not, but here are my high school stats:
<em>The grading system they use is where an A is a 94 or above.</em> Most of my B's are 93's. And a few of the subjects listed are only half year courses. Total HS credits by graduation--30 </p>

<p>Please give me some advice on what I should do about this Biology 101 course because whatever happens to it, it will definitely affect my whole transcript/application. Just about anything right now would be helpful :) ...Sorry this post is so long...</p>
