I’m a Senior, and 1st semester has just finished. I ended up with a D in my AP Calculus class, and I’m worrying that it will affect my chances of being accepted tremendously. I was wondering if I should try to continue on 2nd semester by staying in the class, hoping to improve my grade, or if I should switch out? 2nd semester has started and I’m already struggling to keep up with homework, and I really don’t see myself improving all that much.
