If you’re a sophomore a C won’t change your GPA that drastically would it?

Just drop it, that kind of drop is hard to correct going forward

i don’t think ur gpa matters as much as you think for internship recruiting. most government agencies want a 3.0 minimum (can go to 3.5 for some), and if you are trying to do quant trading, or consulting (which lowkey, i think both of these are just school name which is unfortunate) i haven’t seen it matter much in my swe search as a 3.0 flat student compared to my peers at my university (where the median for cs is closer to 3.5).
