Hey bro I did even worse, I took a college algebra class to brush up because it had been a long time since I’ve seen much math. During the semester my marriage failed and a custody battled started. I was so stressed out about possibly losing my son that I completely stopped going to class and totally forgot to drop it. When I realized I needed to drop it, it was too late. I got an “F”. I have since went back and taken it again but the “F” still lurks in my transcript. You should drop the class and take it at an other time. That one mistake KILLED my gpa. I wonder if an adcom would understand my situation at the time when it’s time for me to transfer to a decent university. DROP THAT CLASS!!!
