<p>I'm taking a math class that I'm failing currently. I got a 68 last quarter but now I have a 62. I'm thinking about dropping it because I just can't take the fact that I'm failing. I already got accepted into 9 schools. I'm doing well in all my other classes (really well, actually) and I'm wondering if it would look better to drop it rather than fail it. What do you think? </p>
<p>I would suggest talking with your high school counselor to see how dropping would affect your transcript and if you could take another course the next 2 quarters. You also may want to call your college admissions office and ask about dropping a course. I believe dropping a course (if there is no penalty) is always preferable to failing a class. Good luck to you.</p>
<p>I would say differently. Failing a class is preferable to failing a class, but colleges will wonder why have to drop it. Most often, they’ll realize that you are failing.
Have you tried EVERYTHING that you could to raise your grade up? I know most kids say yes but most know that they haven’t tried everything. Have you gone after school for help, talked to your teacher about extracredit, taken the initiative to study more than your peers?
If you were to drop, then it would be wise to inform the admission officers. Why you are struggling this year more than any other year. They may ask that question (hopefully they do) in determining whether to rescind your offer or not.</p>
