I am planning to take a precalculus course which lasts for 5 weeks during this summer. It's a 4 credit class. I will not be working during this time so I am expecting to earn an A with rigorous studying and practice.
If I score below an A minus in this class, I intend to tell the professor to give me an F so I can retake the course and get an A the next time. My question is, will medical schools frown upon this strategy? They will see an F and then an A or so the next semester. I also believe that the F is overwritten at my college once you retake the course and pass it however it could be averaged in with the A. That I am not sure about. Regardless, how would this look on an application?
