kc0iet,

Congrats on maintaining a 4.0!

Before you drop your classes, ask your professors if you can take an "Incomplete" and finish them next term.

Many people have to do this for medical reasons...talk to your Dean of Students, a Student Advisor or the Chair of the department in which you are graduating. I would talk to them ASAP.

I understand how incredibly difficult it is for a spine patient to go through school and do well--a spine surgery in 1997 before college and a car accident in 1999 during college (that required me to take a full semester off, but I came back determined). I had to work twice as hard as everyone else (which I am sure you are doing), but I graduated with a 4.0 GPA in Biology and Chemistry.

YOU CAN DO THIS! Send me a PM if you want to talk about school...I might be able to help.

Keep us posted.
