Hey there, it sounds like you're in a bit of a pickle! But don't worry, we've all been there.

Firstly, it's great that you're thinking ahead about your MBA applications. It shows you're serious about your future. Now, about that class you're struggling with. Even though it won't show up on your transcript at your university, it might be worth putting in the effort to pull up your grade.

Why, you ask? Well, MBA programs do sometimes ask for all transcripts, including those from study abroad programs. If they do ask and you've failed a class, it might raise a few eyebrows. They might wonder why you didn't put in the effort, especially since you're doing well in your other classes.

So, my advice would be to try and dig yourself out of that hole. It might be tough, but it could save you some explaining down the line. Plus, it's always good to challenge yourself, right?

Remember, this is just one monkey's opinion. You should do what feels right for you. Good luck!
