<p>so I want to transfer…right now i have a 3.7 but the science class i have to take for spring semester is only offering a really crappy professor who lacks proper English communication skills.The class would be needed for med school but should I risk my GPA and take her class or take another science related class(not for med school) to not damage my GPA?</p>
<p>Make sure you are taking the hardest class available. If the alternative class is a lower difficulty it will hurt your chances of transferring.</p>
<p>hmm…im not sure about difficulty the class is only a 3 cred class…both are one is human bio and the other is molecular bio.It not about the difficulty but more so the teacher…they have a 4 cred science class available w/a good teacher …do u think i should opt for that class instead?</p>
<p>Yes the deal is to take the most rigorous courseload possible without messing up the gpa unless u are trying to transfer to a school that has particular gpa requirement go for the tougher class…also don’t make premature assumptions about this professor don’t listen to what others have to say give the guy a chance and if u think he is really crappy I am sure ur college would have a course drop deadline often 1-3 weeks after the course starts</p>
<p>yea thats true…i think the deadline is like a week…I shall see …im just really nervous b.c of her accent,and its a 7am class…</p>
<p>Also if you plan applying for fall 2010, this semester grades do not matter as much.</p>
<p>A “bad” grade before you transfer will hurt you twice-- during the transfer process and for med school. On the other hand, a “less rigorous class” would only hurt you during the transfer process.</p>
<p>I think they matter for the colleges i’m applying to…like Elon,the app deadline is in June so they shall see everything,most of the colleges i’m applying to have late deadlines…v</p>
<p>@college_ruled, that’s an excellent point 
</p>
<p>Sabrina, you should try to replace it with a course of equal or greater challenge and is taught by a teacher who has- as you put it- “proper English communication skills”.</p>
<p>yeah,i think i should do that as well but alot of the science classes have been canceled and the only classes I can take for my polysci major are intro classes,I might be able to take a advanced english class…but since im a freshman Im limited,but I wouldnt say my classes are easy.Would you evalute the course load im taking:
Bio-stats
Molecular Bio
Latin II
Theology
Goverment</p>
