What to do when failing a class and need to get into grad school?

I am currently taking a statistics class and need a C in order to get into the grad school program I've been conditionally accepted to. I already hired a tutor but I have the option of taking another course at a different university that may be easier for me. The only problem is I would need to quit a case I have (I work with autistic children) and need to know what to do by tomorrow!


Should I stick with a class I'm struggling with and hope I get a C with the tutor?


Or should I start the new class and make my company mad?

If you need the statistics class to be accepted, it's likely you will be doing more of that kind of work in grad school. Taking the harder class will probably better prepare you for what lies ahead, especially if this is an area that isn't your strongest. You should stick with the class and work very hard. And with the tutor helping, you may very well end up surprised at how well you'll do if you persist and really try to learn.
Reply:start the new class. your company should understand that school is your first priority. you should not take the risk of not getting a C and basically throwing away everything you have worked so hard for.





hope this helps =)

Don't quit the class work though it. Stay off YA for the next few weeks and pass the course!
