I’m a senior in my 2nd semester and I recently (maybe not so recently- about 5 weeks ago) dropped AP Chemistry for a few reasons. I haven’t informed and schools yet, but its almost March.
Can anyone tell me their thoughts on my letter? How can I improve it? Grammatical errors I missed? Do I email it or do I have to snail mail? Where do I send it? I’m kind of lost and my GC is swarmed now so its really hard to get in to see her.
Thank you!
*To whom it may concern-
I am writing to inform (CAMPUS ADMISSIONS) of a change in my second semester senior schedule. Originally, I planned to take AP Chemistry both semesters as it is a yearlong course. However, after struggling to balance AP Chemistry’s rigorous workload with my other classes and certain at-home problems, I came to the conclusion that it would be best for both my own sanity and for the rest of my grades to drop the course. With the extra effort I was struggling to put into this class, I exerted less into my other classes, resulting in lower grades all around. I completed the first semester of AP Chemistry with a C, and since I wasn’t confident that I would be able to keep that grade in the passing range, I decided to instead put more focus into my other academic classes: AP U.S. Government and Politics, AP Statistics, and Expository Reading and Writing. I take full responsibility for my low grade and withdrawal from the class, and I realize that this decision may have a negative effect on (CAMPUS)’s review of my application.*
(Obviously I won’t be leaving the CAMPUS ADMISSIONS in there
