Should I drop Calculus BC AP?

Pre-College Issues High School Life

<p>So here's the deal. I have been in school for 6 weeks and currently have a 70.0%. I have dropped a total of 8.6% in a matter for two weeks. Will it go any higher anytime soon? I doubt it. So I'm going into the D range. I'm struggling and have no possible way for me to get a tutor.</p>

<p>This is going to hurt me in the long run. I just know it. I struggled through Calculus AB AP as a junior and got a 3 on the AP exam. </p>

<p>I can drop Calculus BC AP and earn a gpa of 4.0 unweighted (because then I'll spend more time on my other classes and I'm sure I can keep the As I have in those classes) or keep Calculus BC AP and get a 3.6 or even a 3.3 gpa. If I get the 4.0 gpa in both semester then I can average out my gpa now and will bring it up to around 3.7 gpa. </p>

<p>So what should I do? I'm taking Statistics AP right now too. If I drop it, it won't show up on my transcript. My GPA will get higher but then my courseload will seem easy. Does UCSD look a lot at math? My major is psychology.</p>

<p>Someone help me!</p>

<p>What are your other classes?</p>

<p>Either way, you should drop it. You obviously don't like it and you have plenty of math classes.</p>

<p>You can still drop classes halfway into the semester? Wow.</p>

<p>But before I say you should drop it, what is your intended major?</p>

4

<p>Well obviously he can drop that class, he doesn't need any more math. </p>

<p>I'd say drop it, Calc I is the requirement for an associate's degree anyways, no?</p>

<p>Drop it. UCSD isn't THAT hard to get into, so don't worry about it.</p>

<p>I sadly dropped that course to take AP Calculus AB today. BC is way too hardcore for me. But at least now I'll be happier :-)</p>

<p>Actually, I'm thinking of doing that tomorrow. I'm only a junior and I'm not going into maths & sciences, so... Stanford won't mind, right?</p>

<p>^ Stanford, maybe. UCSD not really.</p>

<p>I doubt any college would mind... If you're going for math you'll take it eventually.</p>
