<p>To keep it brief, I initially planned to take prereqs for either Physician Assistant school or Physical Therapy school before I transfer out of my CCC- but I've changed gears and am deciding to put more emphasis in getting a B.S./B.A. in Accounting (and getting a high GPA) and maybe taking PA/PT school prereqs post-grad if I still want to.</p>
<p>So, I enrolled in A&P I with the latter mindset though now I'm thinking about dropping it since it doesn't apply to my major and I feel it's taking too much time away from my actual major requirements, and I may have to take a W on my transcript...would this be a good idea? It would be my first W, and I currently have a 3.8...</p>
<p>The thing is though, if I drop it, it will take me down just under full time. I'm not sure if I can still add courses like weight training or not for that extra unit (though the class is displayed at OPEN on web advisor..) so if anyone has experience with that, I'd like to read it.</p>
<p>Before you even think about dropping, look into how dropping below full-time can affect your federal or state aid, scholarships, loans, campus services, etc. A lot of times all of these things can be affected simply by dropping one hour below the threshold of full-time.</p>
<p>If you do drop and can still register for other classes, I would recommend doing at least this so you’re still considered a full-time student.</p>
<p>My advice to you about whether or not to drop the class would be this: only drop it if you truly think you’re doing to fail. A W is a lot better than an F, but if you can pull at least a C, it’s not worth taking the W for it. Most/all PA/PT schools consider A&P a core requirement, so if you’re seriously considering that route, I would think long & hard before making any decisions. Like I said, if you anticipate on failing, it would be a lot easier to explain why you withdrew from the class to a PA/PT admissions board than as to why you failed a course considered so critical to the PA & PT professions.</p>
<p>However, if you’re not as serious as to applying for PA or PT school and you’re more focused on getting your bachelor’s degree in accounting AND A&P is a serous hindrance to your courses that are a requirement for your accounting degree, I would drop it.</p>
