So you dropped out a class after the last day to add full term classes. What to do? Should you panic? How are you going to have enough credits for the semester? 

You are not the only one who has ever dropped out of classes like Chemistry and Accounting after receiving that bad grade on the first exam. Remember, everything is going to be okay. Here are some tips of what you should do:

 

1) E-mail professors who offer second half of semester courses and request their POI numbers as soon as possible (these classes always fill up quickly). This way you will be able to score some more credits.

2) Now that you have more free time, invest in extracurricular activities and involvement on clubs. A good resume comes from a person who has been involved in multiple activities and experiences, not just on a solid GPA.

3) Focus on the classes you currently have and try to increase your GPA. Use the extra time you have usefully. A boost in your GPA is always good!

Hello! My name is Camilla Zanini and I am from Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. I am currently in the pre-Business track, but am very interested in psychology as well. One of my favorite past times here at Wake is to walk around the Reynolda trails and to hang an Eno in whatever spot they have. I love travelling and Netflix too!
