<p>Hi, everyone...
Big Problem...
My younger brother is in his junior year and he has been doing quite all right at school except in his AP Stat class. Last semester, he got a DDDDDD....D...I was quite frustrated with it but, he promised me that he will get a good grade, which we agreed upon as at least a B...</p>
<p>So, a progress report comes out...and he currently carries a CCCCCCCC...no, not good...so, my brother and I have been talking..and arguing for about a week...and we came to the point ...whether to drop that AP Stat or not...</p>
<p>please give us some advice...im frustrated that I cannot be a good brother...we have been talking about this whole dropping issue for a week and he has to make a decision very soon...</p>
<p>the colleges he is looking at are UCLA, UCSD, UCI, and CSULB...</p>
<p>I don't think dropping a class now would be a good idea.</p>
<p>If he keeps the class and continues to improve his grades, he demonstrates that he is actively working to overcome "obstacles"; if he drops it, it looks more like "I don't want to challenge myself by taking classes out of my comfort zone".</p>
<p>Plus, sometimes the policy is that if you drop the class beyond a certain date, it will be an F. That's how my school works. Check on that before you do it.</p>
<p>I could not fall asleep until four AM this morning...because I did not want to give my brother a wrong advice...any more input would be appreciated...</p>
<p>he's basically saying that ...if he dropped his stat class, he would be able to get straight A's </p>
<p>but with the stat class, because he had to spent so much effort on that class, he would not be able to achieve a straight A's with the rest of his classes...</p>
