Hello,
I will try to keep this short. Feedback greatly appreciated:
I am a nontrad. I graduated college about 10 years ago with a cumulative GPA of 2.7. I decided to first take College Algebra this semester before diving into Chemistry, Physics, etc. I just had a baby in June and I am finding that 40 hours of full-time work plus a new baby plus a demanding Math class plus, I will be honest, a bout of postpartum depression is quite overwhelming. I get the material, but my professor goes very fast and I really am struggling with finding tutors who are available outside of my full-time job.
We have our first test on Thursday and I am already doubting my ability to get an A this semester. I know that I could if my circumstances were different and DO school is something I really, really want. I am weighing my options of withdrawing and trying again next semester, when my baby is older and I can finagle a part-time work situation with my current employer or find a different part-time job that allows me more time.
But, with my CURRENT undergrad GPA of 2.7 and science GPA something like 1.4, I realize I don't have a lot of room for error. Is it going to look bad that I withdrew from College Algebra with a W and retook it? Am I already screwed even if I take it at a later date and get an A?
Thank you.
