Should I drop out of European History?

Pre-College Issues High School Life
1

<p>Hello everyone, I'm a senior struggling in my European History class. It's one of the most difficult courses in my school, and two weeks ago I finally managed to raise my grade from a D (which I've had all year long) to a C. :( This is the 2nd C I'll be getting in high school. Last year I received all A's, except for one C in AP Chemistry.</p>

<p>I'm doing better in the class now, but it's still pretty difficult. Finals are next week and I doubt I'll do well enough on the exam to pull my C to a B. It breaks my heart, haha. I'll also probably be receiving one or two B's by the end of the semester (one in AP Computer Science, and maybe one in AP Literature). </p>

<p>I don't think my transcript will look too great with one or two B's and a C. :/
Should I drop out of European History? If not, should I explain to colleges why I made that C if they ask about it? Will a lot of colleges look at first semester grades for senior year? The class is challenging, especially by the way my teacher runs it, and I also have to focus on 4 other AP classes, scholarship/college applications, band, and two medical internships, so it's a little hard for me to find a lot of time to study...</p>

<p>Sorry for asking so many questions! I'm getting kind of desperate, haha.
All help is appreciated, thank you!! :D</p>

<p>If you think that C won’t drop down to a D again, I’d stay with it unless it’s become such a burden that the rest of your school life has dramatically suffered.</p>

<p>Thanks for your answer, I was really worried about that C! I don’t think I’ll drop down to a D again, so I guess I’ll just make sure to work my butt off and make a better grade next semester. :)</p>

<p>Yeah. I think you should probably drop…</p>

<p>You think so? D:
Ahhh! I’m just so confused on what to do now. I don’t have much time left to think about this any longer since finals are next week…
Can anyone else please please PLEASE give me feedback as to what I should do!!? D:
I’m freaking out here, and I’d really like to have more opinions. :(</p>

<p>I recommend dropping because a C in senior year looks bad on a transcript, even it it is only 1st semester. Unless you are certain you can raise it to a B in finals, I think you should drop it. Or take it as a pass/fail if that’s an option.</p>
