<p>I will be ending the first semester of junior year with a C in AP Psychology. I probably won't be able to get an A next semester, but I might get a low B. I'm still taking AP Lang and AP Physics B, so my courseload wouldn't be too easy if I dropped it. I'm aiming for schools between 25 and 50 on the US News Rankings.
Should I drop the class, or would that look worse than continuing on with the class but getting a C?</p>
<p>I would continue with it. As long as you can try for a B next semester, that is. Colleges would rather see you challenged yourself and as long as you do well in your other classes, one C shouldn’t be that much of a problem.</p>

<p>I’m getting B’s in my other classes though (not a great year, I know).</p>
<p>jiewergaegoajfeo the deadline to switch classes is tomorrow! please help me!</p>
<p>I’m not sure… I’m getting a C in AP Calc and I applied to an Ivy ED? If that counts for anything. If you don’t think you can pull up those Bs next semester and not bring this up from a C, then I guess switching would be a good idea.</p>

You might want to think carefully about the chances of getting into schools of that caliber with a string of B’s, and perhaps be sure to apply to some less selective schools as well</p>
<p>Do not drop that class just because you currently have a C. Sit down with the instructor, and find out what you can do to improve your grade. Clearly your current approach to the material is ineffective. You need better study skills, note taking skills, etc. Your teacher can help you figure out where to start.</p>
<p>mikemac, I was on track to call some of those schools my safeties based on my freshman and sophomore year grades. </p>
<p>Would colleges overlook the bad junior year if your first semester senior year grades are a lot better?</p>
<p>Oh, and I decided not to drop the class. Hopefully, colleges will notice that I really challenged myself to try to improve it.</p>
