So you may have seen my other thread about withdrawing from organic chem I, and I apologize for blowing this forum up with that thread and this one about my mess ups this semester.
Now it's a little more complicated.
I realize that my physics grade can't be brought up as much as I originally thought. I'll try to make this simple without going into the many scenarios.
biochem major, sophomore, taking 16 credits (sciences are physics, ochem, microbio), 3.81 cumulative gpa from freshman year
So here how things are looking now....
physics - (C-)at worst, will probably get a (C), (C+) at best
physics lab - (A)
organic - likely a (C+), (B-) at best
organic lab - (C+)/(B-) not sure yet [POSSIBLY (B) IF I do very well on the final, but not sure due to weird grading]
When I say "at best" I am being reasonable. For physics, I could get a (B+) IF I got a 100% on the final, and orgo I could get a B IF I got a 100% on the final. I did not include these as they are very unlikely scenarios.
I feel as if these grades are not acceptable, so I've decided that I should probably withdraw from either physics (not lab since I have an A) or organic + lab.
Could I please get some opinions on this? My other classes (careers in medicine, music appreciation, microbiology, microbiology lab) I will have A's in. The ones listed above (minus physics lab) are my problem.
I'm meeting with my advisor tomorrow to discuss this, but would love to hear what yall have to say on here. The last way to withdraw is Friday.
Next year I'm taking genetics, analytical chem, biochem and electives. I am aware adding a class I withdraw from now will add to my workload next year significantly, but at the moment it may be my only option if I don't want to WRECK my gpa this semester. I will not make this mistake again and I am going to be changing my study habits etc significantly to prepare for the added workload.
I really appreciate it, yall have helped me a lot over the last couple of days.
