<p>Hello everyone,</p>
<p>Should I drop my Calculus class and get a W, or study really hard and get a B (risk at getting a C right now because I have an 80% in the class)? It's the first Calculus class in the math series at De Anza.</p>
<p>I'm applying to UC Berkeley, UCLA, UCSD, UCI, and UCD for the Fall of 2012 as Econ/Business. I currently have a 4.0 GPA and if I drop this class it would be my second transferable "W." I guess I'm just wondering if its worse to have a "W" or possibly butcher my GPA with a B or possible C. Any help is appreciated!</p>
<p>No You shouldnt drop! If you drop, you have to apply next yr for fall of 2013 
It’s ok to get a B. Berkeley Econ Average GPA is about 3.8-3.9, UCLA is tougher at 3.94
You can’t drop because you need 2 semesters of calc and if you drop now, you won’t finish calc 2 till next yr! GL! :)</p>
<p>A B is a respectable grade in Calculus. Try to avoid getting a C, though. I got mostly B’s in math from Calculus through Differential Equations and Linear Algebra, yet I had no problem getting a TAG into UC Davis.</p>
<p>stick it out!! Study for the B! good luck :)</p>
<p>Forgot to mention that the school I’m at is quarter system and I can actually afford to drop in terms of finishing courses on time. Thanks for the responses!</p>
<p>Adriatic, lol i am in the same EXACT situation and same school loooooooool whose your Calc teacher?</p>
<p>De Vogelaere, Charles. According to RMP he’s a great stats teacher, but if I’m not mistaken its his first time teaching calculus and he’s a little unorganized. The class was originally supposed to be taught by Garrison, but the school decided to change up the teachers on me haha.</p>
<p>I hope I can somehow maintain and get a B :x</p>
<p>dude, that totally suckss. my class is messed up because of the curve its really scary. only top 4 ppl can get an A and i have crazy international students in my class -_-</p>
