Hello,
I've looked at past threads but am still on the edge about what to do. My advisors have all gave me conflicting advice.
I'm a second year pre-med at a university (sophomore). I am enrolled in an advanced program that required me to take:
Physics with Calculus along with Organic Chem and Lab this semester. Along with other courses for my major (KIN), full 17 credits.
I essentially failed the first two physics exams, leaving me with two options:
(1) Try harder and continue on pretty much the same trajectory, getting about B- (if lucky) C (most likely) as a final grade..
I already have one C, it KILLED my GPA and I would hate to have another.....
(2) Drop the class by Friday, take the W, and take the college level, non-calculus based physics next semester/junior year.
Advice? I am worried that dropping out of the program and taking a W will have detrimental effects, but so could another C ?
My parents got divorced over the summer, I recently started working part-time along with my 17 credits, and I was diagnosed with anxiety and am struggling to find the appropriate treatment (counseling vs. medication).
Input on a W vs. a C?
Would it look bad to drop from Calculus Based Physics to Algebra?
I feel like I really screwed up and I don't want this one class to be the end of my pre-med career. ):
