Hello!
So, I'm a freshmen at UT Austin and I'm currently failing calculus. UT offers 6 total "Qdrops" your whole time at UT which just means that you can drop a class after the add/drop period. However, UT offers one "Post Q drop" your whole time at UT, which basically means that I can take all three exams and see how my grade is after the real Q drop period.
Anyway, I've taken all three calculus exams and I'm pretty sure I just failed it. Overall, that will mean that my test average is a 67. I calculated that it means I will basically need an A on the final to PASS the class with a 71. I'm only taking 13 hours so if I do take this drop then I'll only have 9 hours.... but if I dont' take this drop and do well on the final, I"ll have a C.
I really want to get into dental school, and I'm doing decently okay (A's and one B) in the rest of my classes. Should I go ahead and drop it (it'll show up on my record) or try really hard and just pass?
please help!
