Hi everyone! So I am a biology major and attending a community college as a freshman (on my 2nd semester). This semester has been really rough for me in my general biology class. I currently have a C in the class (76%). I really want to transfer to UCLA but I know if I get a C in my bio class as a bio major it wouldn't look good at all. I have time left to raise up my grade to a B. (Until May and I still have a couple of lab quizzes/ homework and 4 exams left that include the lab final and cumulative lecture final) But my luck hasn't really been there for me and whenever I get my grade up, something happens and I end up getting back to a C. What I'm afraid of is doing good on my test to where I'm at a borderline B but then my final bringing me back down to a C. What I want to do in the future is go to medical school and become a doctor. So As really matter to me. I've tried really hard in the class as well. I've spoken with the teacher during office hours, gathered a study group, watched many videos on YouTube and khan academy, read the textbook and done the extra concept questions as well as the study guides, but it seems like I can't grasp onto it. I brought this up to my counselor and he was the one that suggested i should withdrawal and take some time to learn the material on my own time and then retake it when I'm ready (when I know I'll get an A). But I feel like just having a W on my transcript is really bad. I've thought about contacting the UCLA counselors but I don't want their first impression of me to be bad. I really need some extra advice on what to do. I feel so disappointed with myself and feel like it's the end of the world for me right now which is absolutely ridiculous. Thank you for your time everyone and I am looking forward to your feedback
