Should I just drop this course?

Transfer Students

<p>Knowing that I can only max out at a 3.7 GPA with straight As this semester and learning from just about everyone here that this GPA with one year of liberal arts education and one year of community college isn’t good enough for most of the schools I applied to, should I just drop a course and lighten my workload? I don’t think any of these credits will transfer because I’ve already taken the ones that will so should I just drop a course that I don’t need seeing as it won’t change the outcome of what schools I get into?</p>

<p>Right now, I think I have a good shot at Holy Cross, Bucknell, Colgate and Fordham. Maybe even Boston College.</p>

<p>These are the classes I’m taking this semester</p>

<p>EN290- Topics in Literature
EN216- World Literature II
EN210- Development of the American Novel
SO210- Deviance & Social Control
FR101- Elementary French I
CJ208- Criminology</p>

<p>I’m thinking I should drop either the criminology course or the Development of the american novel course. Give me some feedback, thanks :)</p>

<p>I would drop the Criminology course. It seems like the “odd one out” and it also sounds like a class that might not transfer to your second school anyway.</p>

<p>I would drop not just one but two classes - criminology and one literature class. No wonder your GPA suffers.</p>

<p>Reasons for the 3.6 GPA (at this point)</p>

<p>First Semester of College… Political Philosophy- B
Reflective Tutorial- B+
Second Semester of College- Honors Macroeconomics- B+
Third Semester- General Chemistry- B- </p>

<p>Heh… what I’d do to get rid of those grades. And they’re not even in my major. Stinks cause I really do feel like I could succeed anywhere in my major, even at an Ivy League school</p>
