Is this for all faculties?

How well do you want to do in Chem? If you want a good mark, I recommend dropping the course and doing it in the summer (would be easier because it's only one course and you focus on just that subject). If you don't really care what mark you get and just want the credit and not lose any money, you can work very hard for the next few weeks. But... maybe this will take away from how well you do in other courses...

yea i think im gonna drop it
casue i feel like the time and effort im gonna put into making up for chem
and studying for it for the exam will take away how much time and effort i can put into my other courses so dropping chem is not a big deal right? i mean taking it in the summer will not matter? a course completed is still a course completed despite if i did it in the fall/winter term or summer? and becasue im gonan drop it it wont matter that i dont have a full course load this term? getting a low mark in chem is obviosuly worse than dropping it?

I'm thinking of dropping one course to "save" my gpa but doing so would give me a part-time load and I don't want to take an extra course next term. Anyone not looking to apply to those certain grad schools not taking a full course load? Why or why not?
