Not to pick on your math skills, but how does your GPA drop into the 2’s? Let us do a worst case scenario. Assume that your DE class was 5 credits each semester and you got a D. You say that you have a 3.85 at your current college. To have an overall GPA in the 2’s you would only be able to have 23 or less credits at your current school. If/when you have a more likely number of credits to apply to grad school (90+), your total GPA will be 3.5+ if you have(keep) the 3.85.
