Should I withdraw from all my classes? (see details)

Asked by MissAnthrope (21511points) December 7th, 2009

I’m moving to CA in less than 2 weeks and whatever college I attend there will not have my major. The classes I’m taking this semester most likely won’t apply toward a general biology degree (B.A.). I have the option of withdrawing from all my classes by Dec. 20th.

My GPA has dropped from 3.2 to 2.76 while attending WVU. I have one class I’m sure to fail as I stupidly missed the drop date. There’s only one class that I’m certain to get an A in, the other two will probably be C’s (but could be worse, depending on how I do on the finals).

I really am afraid of when that F and the two C’s hit, my GPA is going to plunge even more.

The only cons I can think of is that I’ve done all the work this semester, so it’s kind of a waste of my time. That and how it might appear on my transcript to have this entire semester as a withdrawal. Also, it feels kind of crappy, like I’m admitting I’m a failure or something.. the thought makes me feel sort of disappointed in myself.

The pros are that my GPA won’t drop any more, and I’ll have more free time to work (I’m broke as hell) and to prepare for my move. I eventually want to go to Mills College in Oakland and I know right now that my current GPA will keep me from merit scholarships and the like there.

What is your opinion, should I just withdraw?
