Summer School Problems

Pre-College Issues High School Life

<p>I go to TJHSST and right now I'm taking summer chem, where we basically take the whole honors course and condense it to one month. </p>

<p>The last day to drop out of this class is this Friday by 4 PM (which would mean that I would have to decided by tomorrow essentially.) Right now I have a B+, edging right on an A- and I have been pretty consistent with that grade until i got to solutions. We're taking the test on that tomorrow but I got a 58% on the homework. And the teachers say that if I don't get solutions, I'm basically screwed for the next units, especially Acid/Base.</p>

<p>Should I just drop out while I can? It'll show a WP on my report card which means that I basically gave up on it. I feel like if colleges see that, they'll just think I'm a quitter and trying to take the easier way. If I do stick to the end, I'll be taking both AP Chem and AP Bio and I'm not sure how well I'll be able to manage that. The only reason I stacked up 2 science APs like this is because I won't have any space in my schedule later and I'd much rather do AP Chem than Physics. But if I don't get a good grade in summer chem, wouldn't it just mess me up for AP Chem?</p>

<p>A B or C in that class really isn’t the end of the world and looks a heck of a lot better than a WP. </p>

<p>If you are on the science track for college, take physics in high school. You’ll be glad you did. Adjust your schedule accordingly.</p>

<p>Well, I will be taking physics. What I meant to say was that I’d rather take AP Chem than AP Physics. Sorry if that was causing any confusion.</p>

<p>My real worry is if this will create an avalanche effect on my AP Chem grade since my foundation would probably a bit shaky</p>
