so i'm debating whether i should resign physics or not.. heres why..

i'm going to school on a scholarship that covers about 1/2 of my whole tuitions/board/food/etc... and because i got below a 3.5 my first semi i'm current on probation and at risk of losing my scholarship if i dont get my gpa up to a 3.5 this semi

i'm an engineering major so i took chem last semi.. got a C and it totally KILLED me in gpa wise.. this semi i'm taking physics.. even tho i'm tryin my hardest i have a feeling i'll prolly get C+ at max and i'm not confident that i would get a 3.5 if i keep takin the course.. perhaps i should take it later on? becuase right how i kno w/out physics i have no doubt of getting a 3.5, but with it i have a fear that i will not get it..

also i was wondering.. if i resign.. that means theres a "R" on my transcript forever.. and i heard that effects me when i go out in the real world look for a job.. is that true? but should i think of the future when i shouuld be focusing on how to keep my scholarship?

please help.. i really want/need to drop, but i dont want a R either

is resign same thing as a W (withdraw)?

It doesn't matter. Besides (maybe) your first job, noone is really going to look at your college transcripts. Their just gonna check if you graduated.

no.. withdraw had to be like in the beginnin...


oo really? cuz yea i was just really worried that it would affect my chances of perhaps getting a job since ppl say the "R" is so serious and crap.. i dont really think so.. and hope not

don't withdrawl.
if you feel like you cannot pull up your physics grade i suggest you audit (pass/fail) and retake the class in the fall.

^what's the problem with withdrawing.

if you withdraw it wont affect your gpa. if you want to maintain a 3.5+. you can just simply take it again next semester or during the summer.
