WoFlowzyea like if my parents don’t pay for my school and i don’t spend anymoney toward tuition cause ill be doing clinical and research in summers. I also don’t really see a reason to stay for 25-30k a year without the rowing. I may as well go to UB and work or transfer to UofUtah and live my cousins. Or even UVM with buddies who have a house in burlington. I’d also even consider places like UCSB or UCSD or CU Boulder
Idk how your parents would feel about it but have you considered a reduced course load? I know it's a bit of bummer but in the long run an extra semester or two is no big deal. Up until now I've been taking 5-6 classes a semester as per the recommended schedule for my degree but next semester I'm only taking 4 cuz i hate having no time to do anything other then study ( also ski season I need to make sure i can get all my work done during the week to ski on the weekends). A lot of my friends are have started taking less classes and their grades have improved and they have more time to chill.
generally the more time/effort you put into a class the better your grade will be. It sounds like your already basically putting max time into you classes and if that's not working i think you'd be better of splitting your current time between fewer classes rather the trying to get few more hours in each day.
From the sounds of it you parents might not love this idea but it sounds like you really like rowing and I think if you stop rowing so you can spend that time studying you'll pretty quickly start to feel like shit, especially if rowing is a significant part of you social life.
You'd probably been fine for a semester or two but remember you have to do this for the next 4 years. you gotta find a sustainable way balance school and social life/ mental & physical health.
Also cant stress it enough that one shity grad in a first year course is not a career terminator. Sounds like maybe math isnt you strong suit but your doing fine in your other classes. by the time your in second and third year you'll probably be done taking math classes. Also you'll probably get a chance to take some random elective that isnt related to you degree. so just take a super easy class and boost your GPA to make up for the calc grad.
As you go take more classes you'll get better at studying, better at learning, and get better at getting good grades
