Dropping class to save my points for acceptance!!!

Published

Ok, I am taking A&P1 now and planning on applying for the fall program~our teacher has missed 7 days this semester and when returns rushes thru everything!! My lab grade is pretty good but I cannot seem to bring my lecture above a 70! We have 6 more chapters left and only 6 more class days left! My CNA class has already posted the final grade as of right now I have a 3.6 Cummalrtive GPA, which gives me 40 poins, on my NLN I have 33 points, plus 10 extra points for being a kentucky resident and 5 for having 12 credit hours, that is a total of 83 points if I stay in this anatomy it will bring my GPA down and I will lose points plus I really don't know if I can pull off 4 more test in only 6 more classes left!!! So do you think that it is wise that I drop now, so that I will get accepted into the progrm, take a different teacher, and as long as I make at least a C in that Anatomy class I will begin the program in the fall!!!

Let me know your advice!!! Thanks!!! It really upsets me because I have tried so hard, just feel as if the teacher let me down!!!:crying2:

Aiyee!

I suppose... if it were me... I'd drop (if possible at this point in the semester) and retake it for a better grade. If I thought I could pull a 3.0 I'd finish out the class. I don't mind 3.0's as much but those 2.0s aren't terribly useful. :rolleyes: Can you make a 3.0?

I am gonna try because she said we could drop as long as it was before the final!!! But if it does not work out, then I will just have to take my A&P2 with my first nursing class this fall!!! See I was trying to get everything out of the way before I applied to the program, but things work in mysterious ways!!!

Thanks for the advice!!!! :balloons:

Is a 70 considered passing?? Here you have to have a 78 minimum.

I'd probably drop rather than risk failing. It's *nice* having everything out of the way before beginning the nursing classes, but it's totally doable taking classes in addition to them.

Good luck, whatever you choose :p

I feel it is better to drop than to get a bad grade. If you can retake it without a problem I think that is the best thing to do. Good luck!! :)
