Part-time vs. Skipped Semster.. what's better?

Hey all,

Looking for advice. I got about 2 (significantly) bad midterm marks back. Should I become part-time this semester by dropping some classes... or would it be better to drop everything (say that I volunteered/worked full time this semester and took it as a summer break after 4 concurrent semesters).

How shamefully is a part-time semester (3/5 courses) considered? I guess that's the gist of the question.


Would it be better to just not have a part-time semester on my transcript?

Thanks muchos for the help!

I dropped a math class midway through the quarter at UCSD (got a W) and finished off the quarter with only two classes (a total of 8 units when full time is a minimum of 12).

Currently accepted at two highly ranked programs.

Bottomline: it doesn't matter.

as long as you keep your gpa up, it doesnt matter how many classes you take.
