Should I just drop this course?

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?

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

These are the classes I’m taking this semester

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

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