<p>I have a D+ in that class right now after 1 test and 1 quiz. Sure, he drops the lowest quiz score at the end of the semester, but I still got a C- on the test. Took another quiz Friday and scored somewhere near the C-D range I am predicting.</p>
<p>Before Calculus, I have never had trouble with math. What do you guys recommend? Should I make the switch since I might end up with a C in the class...or should I keep at it and grab a tutor and work my butt off to get a B ish...an A just seems so far out of reach XD</p>
<p>As for some basic stats, GPA is a 3.92 UW, ACT = 34, with a 35 in Math. I do run track, play piano, lots of ECs, some awards, blah blah blah. But will dropping this class really hurt me?
Anyone else facing a similar dilemma? </p>
<p>Does it matter that I’m a senior? And I’m interested in going into something science-related? And that I’m applying to U of Chicago, U of Michigan, Brown, Northwestern and Wash U.?</p>
<p>Any other feedback? Anyone saying that I should stay and try to get a Bish?</p>
<p>I feel like after I finish all my college apps, I’ll have more time to study and maybe bring my grade up, but when I am sitting at a D after 1/4 of the way through the semester, I doubt that I can still get an A. Maybe a really low A to mid- B. Still…GPA will drop =/</p>
<p>My Calc teacher wants me to stay. He said we will all run into challenges and fail tests, but that is a lesson we learn and then apply it so in the future, we can conquer through the struggles.<br>
I guess he left out the fact that if I get a D, I’m not going to college.</p>
<p>I would guess it depends on where you’re applying. At some more science and engineering-type colleges, this may hurt you, but in liberal arts colleges, going to AB probably wouldn’t.</p>
