<p>So I have 3 semesters left of college!! After planning it out, I can take the minimum amount of classes (4 classes; 12 credits) per semester and graduate on time.</p>
<p>I've taken on course loads of 5-6 classes (15-18 credits) every semester so far and have managed, so far, a 3.85.</p>
<p>This semester has been fine, except ONE week where everything BAD just occurred -- yes, during midterm week of course! I was under MAJOR amounts of stress because of a work investigation where I was questioned so many times (due to a co-workers stupidity), and I also worked 45 hours that week because the co-worker was fired. I studied, but ended up not really getting enough sleep to process the info. </p>
<p>The midterms have affected my grades badly. I expect my overall GPA to drop down to a 3.55-3.65 (semester GPA: estimate 3.0-3.3) possibly.</p>
<p>Since I only need to take 4 classes for the next three semesters, and I usually take 5, should I try to re-take the classes and get a better grade to raise my GPA up? Or maybe over the summer? </p>
<p>*Note: We pay tuition on a class-by-class basis so this WOULD raise my tuition up by ~$700, but I'm not particularly that worried about cost as long as it is worth it.</p>
<p>Would it be worth it for maybe .2 points?</p>
<p>**Reason why I'm so obsessed with my GPA is because I go to a pretty mediocre school ranking-wise and feel that with my GPA I can stand out to applicants. Also, I feel as if getting a decent GPA in such a "easy" major (Advertising/PR/Marketing communications) would reflect me as a student badly.</p>
