<p>Okay, so. Bit of an update.</p>
<p>It looks like I’m going to get Bs in both my English 1B and Managerial Accounting classes. Bs in both will put my overall GPA at 3.77, and dropping Managerial will leave me with that W and a 3.84. Managerial has been stressing me out to no end (it’s an online class) and takes up so much time and basically is the reason that I’ve been averaging four hours of sleep per weeknight for the entire semester thus far. For the past couple of weeks I’ve noticed that the frequency of my heart palpitations, which I experienced before but not that often, has increased–a lot. And my heart just feels like it’s working a lot harder.</p>
<p>I still want to apply to Haas. Given that Managerial isn’t a prereq, how great of a negative impact will a withdrawal from the class be? Will a paragraph about it in the Additional Comments section about my dropping it due to health reasons be a sufficient explanation? I’ve been worried about my health but honestly haven’t even had the time to schedule a doctor’s appointment because of how busy I am with schoolwork. </p>
<p>But at the same time I would die to get into Haas so in some twisted way, I rationalize how I’m kind of killing myself.</p>
<p>EDIT: I think I actually may have a very slim chance of getting an A in English this semester, but I’m going to find out for sure this Thursday whether or not it’s still possible.</p>
<p>Also, dropping Managerial will put me at 14 units for the semester.</p>
<p>And somewhat implicit in my post is the following question: Will 18 units and AAABB or 14 units and AAAB W, with a decent explanation for the withdrawal, be more acceptable? I’m especially worried because my GPA when I apply will likely be a couple of notches below the average of accepted applicants if I stick with my five classes and get two Bs.</p>
<p>Oh yeah and I’ve kind of put on like a ton of weight in the past two months because I’m almost completely sedentary now. I have so little time and I’m extremely exhausted and super stressed all the time.</p>
