Entomom, I think a B-/B is much better than two W’s



Yes, I agree, but I wasn’t recommending 2 Ws. I said:



maybe you could drop Calc2 like you say and put your energy into bringing Bio and Chem up to a B? Seems like a better plan than having 2 Ws and a less than full time courseload this semester.



If the OP could bring both Bio and Chem up to a B while keeping all their classes, of course that would be the best of all worlds. But, if they are unable to deal with such a heavy courseload (right now the OP has a C & D, they only HOPE to bring them up to a B), I suggested that they might consider dropping Calc and use the time to bring the 2 premed requirements (Bio & Chem) up to Bs. This would result in 1 W (Calc) and still carrying 13 units, which is generally considered a full time load.
