L&S Late Drop

Hey everyone,

I finished my Chem 3A midterm yesterday, but I was sick with a fever that night and didn’t do as well as I had hoped. I got a standard deviation above the mean for the first midterm, but I just checked the curves on Berkeleytime and apparently only the top 10-15 percent get A’s in Pedersen’s class, which I’m probably not going to end up getting after this midterm.

Would it be worth it to use a late drop to drop 3A and take it next semester? Is 3A generally easier in the spring? Also, since two classes are allowed to be changed using the late drop, I may be looking to replace one of Bio 1B or CS 170 as well.

Thanks!
