Trouble in class and scared that dropping will severely hurt my chances.

Better to drop than get a D. I am not sure how a drop is reflected on your school’s transcripts though. What is your intended major? Would you still self-study and take the AP exam? Whether it hurts or not may depend on the rest of your profile. If you’ve successfully taken other AP courses and the remainder of your course load now would still be rigorous then I don’t think it should be detrimental. A D would be detrimental IMO. A B would be ok though. It sucks how much a bad teacher can turn an interested curious kid off a whole subject area. Same thing is happening to my D in IB Art. Hopefully your interest will be rekindled later by an amazing prof.
