You could always write a deferred exam lol.....

I'm just posting this so people know this option exists...it's not listed anywhere but I guarantee you it is available. But do you want to wait until february to write that exam???

So, you can defer any exam? I don't mind waiting until february to wirte the exam, but does it appear on you transcript that you've deferred an exam? does it affect post grad stuff like med school and law school consideration?

Yep it does appear on your transcript as DEF F (granted that you need to write the exam to pass the course) till you write the exam and then you get a DEF B (example) on your transcript.

Not a pretty sight, if you ask me. I would say ONE DEF would not affect you at all, but multiple ones (like one DEF every single semester) is sure to raise professors' eyebrows for grad school.

As far as med school is concerned I highly doubt they care. It's all about your GPA for them
