text: I just dropped a class in order to avoid a B... If you think you can take a higher level math class and get an A later on, then do NOT drop the class--graduate schools (even medical schools) will look at the later grades for higher level courses.  If you've had it with math and won't be taking any additional math classes, then go ahead and drop it... but you may be wasting your money if you can't get a refund this late in the semester.
