My professor didnt allow me to take make-ups even though I asked him during the first day of class. He also drops the lowest midterm(day of interview), so I guess I'll have to ace the other exams.
That class is required for my major though. I will do well on my exams. I just need to stop slacking off ^_^ I'm still pooped from spending my whole summer studying for the DAT.
So far I've managed to arrange for the interviews so that they don't conflict with anything major. I think for most schools, the dates are rather flexible to some degree. As for the work load that just builds up while you're out, there's nothing much you can do, right?
