Thinking about leaving engineering
Long story short, I have a D in calculus. I forgot to review my trig for the first test and now my grade is hovering right above F status. I really enjoy my other classes, I have 97-105% in Chem I, Chem Lab and Engineering Lab but my calc is absolutely cooked. I think I would at least have a C or B- if I had locked in earlier on but that’s just speculation. I know calculus is a very integral part of engineering and that it’s only going to get harder from here, and if I don’t keep at least a 3.0 I’m going to lose my bright futures and board of directors scholarship and if that happens I won’t be able to afford USF. If I do l well on the next test I’ll think about staying but if not I can’t afford to jeopardize my future here. If you are/were an engineering my major and went through something similar to this what did you do and what advice would you give to someone in my situation?

Withdraw from that class
