Will dropping a class second semester lower acceptance chances?

Applying to College
1

<p>I'm thinking of dropping my AP English class second semester and doing independent study English. I would still take the AP English test, but my AP English class is honestly just so horrible I think I would do a better job on my own. It is a complete waste of my time, full of busy work, and we haven't even done one essay yet.</p>

<p>Would colleges know I dropped it before they made their decision? I know that there is a mid-year report, but I don't think it would show on that if I time it right. Is there any chance of my acceptances changing their mind after they know I dropped the class which I said I was going to take?</p>

<p>Also, what about things besides college applications. Is there anything my grades for second semester matters for? (assuming I get at least B's). Such as: scholarship money, transferring after sophomore year in college, etc.</p>

<p>thanks</p>

<p>have you considered taking it online? that way, you won’t have to drop the class and won’t have to take the one at your school either.</p>

<p>my school doesn’t offer that.</p>

<p>im kind of in the same boat. </p>

<p>physics c, the class, is a killer, while the AP questions and everything aren’t so bad.</p>

<p>im averaging a 70 in that class, not because it is hard but because the amount of work is ridiculous. its killing my gpa and time. my second semester is already over. is there ANYTHING i can do?</p>
