Hello all, I am curretly a freshmen and I am planning to major in CS. Afterwards I would like to get my masters in Robotics Engineering.However college did not start the was I wanted, for starters due to covid I am learning remotely and its just not the same as being in school especially when you have to help your siblings as well. On top of that I overdid my self and took more classes then I thought I could handle. Most freshmen take 12- 15 credits at least in my school however I am taking 19. I thought I could handle it because I have balanced a lot of classes and dule enrollment in CC when I was in HS. I am at a point where I am stressed as long as I am awake. I was planning on dropping physics and figured it would be ok with one W and I would not face an issue when I apply to other schools fo my masters. However I forgot that if I drop Physics I also have to drop lab and that would put a total of 2 W in my perminant transcript. I dont know if its worth taking the 2 W or if I should just keep the classes and just hope for the best and hope a mircale happens. I could care less if I was going to the work right after college but I really want to get to my masters in RE and the schools I am looking at are schools like WPI RPI and Umaryland and I dont know how much they will consider me if they see the Ws. What do you guys think i should do because I have no clue. I would talk to my Dean but its hard to get a hold of them because we are online. BTW the other classes i am taking are clac 1 into to CS english and psychology. Thankyou for your help!/
