I'm currently taking Physics I at Penn, Professor is awesome, he makes physics sooo easy. However, his exams are very very difficult; Best case scenario, I get a B or B- , which brings my overall GPA from a 3.5 to a 3.47. Worse, my sci gpa drops from a 3.45 to a 3.40 (I've already graduated and Physics I and II are my last classes).
Should I take the W in this class (it would be my only W), and retake the class at another school, say Temple, where it might be easier or should I just suffer the casualties (perhaps a C+).
If I do drop this class, I can't apply to med school next summer, I would have to delay the process by one year, which can't be all that bad considering I have no clinicals.
I know it may sound ridiculous stressing over a B-/C+; as my advisor once told me, "If the difference between an A or a B in this class i going to keep you from getting in to med school, then you're other grades are probably not high enough"
After a 2.6gpa freshman year, I pulled it up to a 3.5 by graduation, thats why I'm stressing
I would appreciate some advice??
Thank You,
