C in Orgo 2 or W?

Just took the 2nd midterm exam and I think I did really poorly. I got a C in Orgo 1 as well, (being lazy, partying, trying to cram etc.), but I wanted to know if taking the W is better than having 2 C's. (No other C's in any other classes). Currently in the class I can only miss 170 more points before getting out of the B range. (After this exam I am pretty sure that number will drop down to 100).

So.....work extremely hard and barely miss anymore points or take the W this Friday?

A C will factor into your AMCAS GPA. A W won't, but you'll have to pay tuition when you take the course later. Your call.

Assuming the class has a total of 1000points, missing less than 100 with half the semester left seems very doable if you’re a serious student, never mind being a serious premed student

Class total is 725
3 Midterms 375 -----> currently at (135/250) (including my prediction from this second test)
But yeah...I'm leaning on just working hard and fighting for the B....but if I do worse than my predicted score than idk.....the test was extremely difficult lol there were people crying after.. x(

Not really sure what that means, but since you have one MT left and can miss 100 points, you can get a 73% to get a B- in the class, which seems very doable, at least for me. Hopefully your school isn’t on the +/- system which is a huge pain
