should i drop this class or just finish it and fail

Applying to College

<p>heres my problem.</p>

<p>i'm a senior in high school and im taking an extra math class at the local community college. However, this class is taking up too much of my time and i dont even need it because i already have the 3 years of math required to get into a UC. also, i took the first exam and bombed it, so im pretty much failing. would it be smarter to finish the class off and possibly end up with a horrible grade or just drop it now?? also, if i do drop it, would i have to contact every college i applied to and explain to them why i did drop it???</p>

<p>If you know you're not going to even try to improve and study, then drop it before it hurts your other grades too. If you want to take the time to really try and end up with a C, then take it.</p>

<p>If you put it down on your college app, yes, you would have to contact each college and tell them you are dropping the class, which could affect your admissions decisions.</p>

<p>should i wait until i get the acceptance letters THEN tell them i dropped the course? or do it now before i get the letters</p>
