Should I "WITHDRAW" From my PSYC class if I going to get a C?

I am trying to get into nursing school and I have a 3.82 GPA(5 A's %26amp; 1 B-trig) but i am taking this summer PSYC class and I am feeling nervous about my grade. It is a 5 week coarse and for 2 weeks of it, it overlapped with a Biology class(I got an A in Biology also). My first test I got an 81 second test a 70, first paper 93and second paper ? I won't get my second paper back until Tuesday and the last day to drop the class is monday(tomorrow) with the grades above I have a 78 average (C). I do have 3 more tests (one on this Tuesday) and a research paper left but what if I get bad grades. I study VERY HARD for all my tests and I did better on my first test (during biology) then my second (after biol). Should I drop my class or not??? C's will not look good and it will bring my GPA down. What to do???

I would stick with it. Your average is already close to a B... It sounds like now that your workload will be lighter - without the Bio class - that you will have more time to devote to your Psyc class... I would stick it out...





Good luck getting into nursing school... My best friend is going to nursing school right now. When she talks to someone about getting into nursing school, she tells all of them to get all of their pre-reqs out of the way before starting nursing school. The classes are tough - and they ask a lot of you... but so does the profession! :)
Reply:It sounds like you will pick it back up since you are done with BIO, and your grade right now is close to a B anyway. So, you only need to make a low B average on the rest of your work in the class to have a B for the whole thing. Remember, a B is the same as a B- and a B+ when calculating GPA. Stick with it, you can do it.
Reply:Hey you got a C you pass but i'm sure you will do better next time, i'm in the medical field myself as the year go by it about your experience and if you love what you do it pay off, trust me, i 'm love my job.
