Hello, I am an international student currently studying at a community college at Texas.
I have recently applied for transfer for Texas A&M University as an Electrical Engineering major and have been accepted.
In the community college, I have worked hard for 3 semesters, and I could maintain a decent GPA.
However, this semester, after I got the letter from Texas A&M, I kinda became loose about my studies and am currently in a danger of failing a class.
The class is Beginning Spanish II, and I absolutely despise it. Not that I hate Spanish, I just hate learning new languages in general.
Recently, I heard that international students are not required to take foreign language courses for their graduation. After hearing this information, I went to admissions right after to drop my class, but I could not, for the drop date was already over.
Now, I am thinking about just not going to class and failing the class. A friend of mine told me that since I already have been accepted to a 4-year university, F grades will not affect the new GPA I will get in the new university. But he also told me that there would be a TF (Transfer F) grade remaining on my transcript.
How bad is having a TF grade on my transcript? Will it affect me in any way? Also, if anything I have stated above is not true, please let me know. Any help would be appreciated.
