i am failing a class and even if i get an a and b in the other two core classes im currently taking.. the F which i am for sure taking will leave my core gpa at a 2.9 (i already subrtracted 3 pnts for honors classes) i want to get hope and these other scholarships which require a 3.0 ... it's extra money. i also learned that they offer alternative cash scholarships for lower gpas.. next semester i could make nit up to a 3.0 again if i take an additional 2 core classes and ace them.. but i was planning on working and taking the one class i need(the one i failed) at night school. i do not know how many classes i could take in night school but would it be better if i just go to day school and make up my gpa or what? my mom already has a plan for me ither way for college. just plan a(do 3 core classes) may be cheaper than plan b(nightschool-one core class i need). what do you think? i really need some opinions from those knowledgable. thankyou.

Michele answered Saturday October 31 2009, 8:02 pm: Find out if you can take the class on line rather than night school. On line works better for busy people. You can go to class when you have the time. Charter Oak in CT, offers on-line classes. I took classes there full time, and all on line. And I was often in "class" with students from other states, who were just taking that "one class that they needed" but were actually attending other colleges at the same time. These on-line classes usually cost a little less too. Is it to late for you to drop this class. I was told by my college advisor that dropping a class is better than failing it. Doesn't affect your GPA. Sure you loose the money, but even by failing it you have to take the course over again. So you still loose the money. Good luck to you and I hope you get that GPA up.
