So as some of you may know I have been doing well this semester. The two classes I wanted to drop, are
Calc 2
Phys and phys(lab) (phys with calc..)

so I thought I could drop both of them leaving me with a french an biochem course.

However I had forgotten and was reminded today that I can only drop 4 credits or withdraw completely.

now here's the issue I have already withdrawn completely once before.
In addition, it could happen that if I drop say one of the classes calc , I could end up still getting less than a C though I'll pray and I will try to do the best I can so that doesn't happen

So what advice can I be given about this.
Im sure to withdraw from uni twice is not good as a premed...
but I already had something like 2.3 gpa last semester(ouch..) so yeah...
I've never gotten a GPA so low as college student..

so yeah the only thing I can hope is that maybe the curve in physics ( at tleast 90 percent of the class will pass ) but I even asked my prof and he said he wasn't confident I'd pass. Not to mention that I have not been finishing the Mastering Phsyics homework.
To be honest many of the answers could be online but .. I have this thing about cheating...

anyway any advice you could give me on this situation please let me know..

I think you need to address the larger picture of what is causing you to have repeated difficulty succeeding in academics. I think either scenario you describe looks bad when you consider your other grades and previous withdrawal. Regardless of which option you choose, you're going to have to turn around your grades completely. You're still going to have to address this pattern in your applications. So find someone who can help you with whatever the underlying issue is - lack of study skills, family issues, personal issues, etc.

And I would just withdraw from one class, I think that looks better than withdrawing from everything.
