Hi, so brief explanation of my situation. I am a recent transfer students in UCLA. I took 3 classes in my first quarter and has been doing great except in one of my accounting minor class.
I wont be able to drop the class because I am an international student so I need to maintain at least 12 credits. Additionally, adding other class for replacement is already too late.
So, my plan right now is to intentionally fail the class and retake it next quarter. I am sure that I will get an A (It is not overestimate) if i retake it.
My standing right now is C-, and even if i work my ass off in the final, i would only get a maximum of C since the final only worth 25% of my total grade. (I was fall behind the curve)
So, do you think it’s better to have C in your transcript and hurt your GPA, or intentionally failing the class and retake it for an A?
The university’s policies is to replace the retaken grades, so the D/F wont affect my GPA but it will still exist under my transcript.
I am not planning for grad school. But does it affect a lot when you apply for jobs?
