Take a gen-ed or retake a core engineering course before applying for a transfer to UIUC?

<p>As of now, I'm taking two online gen-ed courses this summer to get them out of the way. Microeconomics and Intro to Law.</p>

<p>I believe I'll have either a B, B-, or C+ in Statics, one of the core engineering courses that I took during spring. But I won't find out until next week when the registrar post the finalized semester grades. I expect to get straight B+s for the rest of my core math/engineering courses (15 semester hours total).</p>

<p>I already registered for an online summer Statics course, though it won't start until mid-June, and I can drop the registration before late June.</p>

<p>I was informed by UIUC admissions that they want see high GPA and do not want to see a C.</p>

<p>If I do get a C+ in Statics, I will drop Intro to Law to take Statics. University of Iowa has a grade replacement policy where they will erase any records of a previous course if a student retakes it, so the C+ and the spring Statics course will not show up on my transcript when I apply for a transfer to UIUC's engineering spring 2015 term.</p>

<p>The question is, should I retake Statics if I get a B or B-? Statics is only worth two semester hours.</p>
