Should i drop AP physics?

i'm probably going to get a C in my AP physics class which will be the lowest grade I've ever received in a class. I have a 4.1 weighted GPA and am taking weighted classes. I'm an A/B student

(mainly A's). Should I drop physics and escape the C or stick with it? How much will this affect my chances of getting into college?

    Don't drop out. Colleges would much rather see that you took an ap class and scored average in it than see that you succeeded in a regular class. A C in the class would bring your gpa down very little. You would still be very close to 4

    I still don't quite understand how some schools do the 0-5 grading scale and others just do the 0-4. My school does 0-4 and I have a 4.0, and taking AP classes doesn't make me get above a 4. Anyways, I would continue the physics. Maybe you can work something out with your teacher, but it's not going to affect your grade by more than 0.2 or so.

    Universities only consider your "UNweighted" GPA, so, a "C" weighted may be a "D" unweighted (depending upon your percentage).
