After a few weeks of taking AP Calculus BC, I have decided to drop the course.
At my high school, we do block scheduling. AP Calculus AB is a 1st semester block class (meeting for an hour and a half daily) and for the 2nd semester, there's a Seminar that meets twice weekly for AB. A few students every year elect to continue on and take AP Calculus BC in addition. This course meets 3 days a week, on the days that AB is not held.
The course is very fast paced and I'm falling behind and struggling. It has taken my attention away from my other courses (AP Calc AB Seminar, AP Phyics C, and AP Gov) and I don't feel like I belong in the course. My teacher agrees that I should focus on AB instead of trying to take both.
So, my question is, should I let admissions know ASAP? Will this negatively affect my admissions decision if I am honest with them in why I chose to drop the course?
Any insight or suggestions would be much appreciated. Thanks!
