I messed up

<p>Hello, I'm new here.</p>

<p>Anyway, I just wanted to get some advice/thoughts. I had a 3.5GPA last year at my CC and went into this semester trying to get a 4.0 in order to get a 3.75. Long story short, I'm getting B's in EG102 and SPH101 when I should be getting A's and I'm flunking Calc I and looking at a C in Chemistry. My GPA will probably drop to a 2.6 after this semester-which is frustrating because these are all simple classes-I just haven't spent enough time in the books for whatever reason. </p>

<p>I had applied to UMDCP by March 1rst using my first semester transcripts and 3.2 HS GPA. What I'm wondering is, how much of an emphasis do they place on your last semester when its not complete yet? And would I be better off just staying at CC one more year and getting a couple of 4.0's in order to get my GPA back to a 3.5+?</p>
