So first of all I apologize for even asking thing because I know it’s been asked before, but I honestly can’t decide what to do. So I’m a non trad and am in my 30’s but some bad grades I got when I was a freshman (12 years ago!) are still haunting me. I had mostly B’s 2 C’s and one D during my freshman and sophomore year. The C’s and D were in BS electives that I didn’t even need. Then I stopped attending school due to the fact that I needed to work to help support my sick father.
Therefore, when I started back to college I had a 2.83 gpa but I have had a good upward trend and now have a 3.3. Which isn’t great but I’m trying I get it higher. I have good EC’s and great volunteer and clinical work.
So my question is should I take a W in Biochemistry instead of a C? I have 2 other W’s but I have valid reasons for them. I know W’s look terrible especially in Pre reqs, but if I take this C it will be really hard to get above a 3.4 gpa before applying next year. It’s not that I can’t preform well in this course. It’s just the teacher is new and is struggling with teaching online and almost the entire class is struggling to pass because of the way she grades. I know that if I retake it I can get an A.
Thanks in advance!
