Help with my schedule please... just a quick question but I need some help

K so I'm expecting a response from the University of Michigan to attend school there for the fall semester of next year... I'm fairly confident I'll get in, so I was wondering what I should do with next semester's schedule. So far it's this:

-Pre-Calculus (have to take so I can take calculus at U of M) -College Writing and Research (part 2 of 2... I got a b- in the class when I was majoring in music n not giving two shits and was gonna try to raise my gpa) -Weight Training (dropped it a couple years ago, in a requirement classification in my current school, also wanted to try to raise my gpa)

Should I just drop the weight training and writing class so I can take these classes at U of M and raise my gpa to look good for Ross? Or would a school like this not like me only taking one class (even though I took summer and fall classes)? I really really need a full time job right now to support my son, so I was planning on finding a full time job while taking classes to sharpen up.

Thanks in advance peeps... I tried asking this on college confidential but got no responses :(

High school course selection? Get out. Please come back when you need help finding an internship if you end up getting in UM

I try and usually not go the asshole route, but come on red wings... are you seriously asking about a HS class which will have absolutely ZERO effect on the rest of your life?

Find some cute girls and try and get a few more in-school BJs in.

I don't think anyone's gonna take kindly to someone who hasn't even gotten into college yet asking about their last high school classes and working about IBD-->PE/HF/VS already.

I am permanently behind on PMs, it's not personal.

Are people gonna start thinking that I'm a high school student now? I graduated in 2007 lol

Well I do apologize for coming right out of the gate as such a dick, but pre-calculus is a high school class.

You're only going to sound more like a dick when people make as much of an apology as they ever will and you still treat them like trash.
