Hey guys,

This is really one of the more helpful places to look for input when it comes to school. Therefore, I wanted to ask about the idea of dropping one of the courses in my MBS program. I started my special masters program (Masters in Biomedical Sciences) this fall semester. The plan was for me to take a handful of classes but my 'part-time' work schedule has been a huge obstacle for me to keep up with studying. I have an opportunity to withdraw from a class but I am not sure if it is a good idea. I am doing great in all my classes except for the one I want to drop. Is it better to finish it with a B- or a C? Or is it OK if I drop it and take it at a later time or even not to retake it at all before applying to medical school next cycle? Thank you much for any helpful thoughts.
