I did talk to my GC and she that I can call in by myself once I turn 18 in 2 weeks so that is settled. My school doesn’t have a translator service for my parents language.

My GC already wrote my LOR and she said she isn’t going to change it because she already sent it too all of my colleges(my school sends LOR and transcripts via mail). I asked her what she put and she said all she put were positive stuff like my work ethic and my GPA, ECs, ect… I guess I can mention why Chinese was canceled and I had to take Spanish instead in the “additional info”. It’s too late anyways, she does not have enough time to write me another LOR and then send it in time by the college application deadline. My GC also said she has no power because it is school district policy that truant students cannot make up anything like finals, you can’t even make up homework. Its too late anyways, first semester ended and everything is in the process of being finalized, I am stuck with a C-.

I know it doesn’t reflect my abilities but a WP looks better than a C-. The C- is going to wreck my UW GPA :(. I didn’t apply to any schools like the UC’s or applied early where they don’t factor in first semester senior year, ALL of my colleges that I applied to are going to wait for my midyear report so first semester senior year grades will count towards my GPA… I have to do what is better for my application.

Deep down I feel like I shouldn’t drop because all of my hard work will be wasted but I will do what will be better for my application. I mean colleges don’t care what grade I get second semester as long as its not another C or lower. So what does it matter? College decisions will be up way before second semester ends.
