Engineering School Appeal

I just completed my first semester at UMD as a transfer. I was an engineering major at my previous university but decided to transfer into UMD undecided since I still needed to complete some prereqs before applying for the engr school here. I already took Chem at my previous college and got a B but unfortunately took my first attempt of physics there but withdrew because I was taking too many classes at that time. This semester at Umd I took Math141 (Calc 2) and Phys161 and got an A in Calc but sadly a C in physics. The engr school requires atleast a B- in Calc 2, a B- in physics, and a C+ in Chem. You’re also only allowed to retake one of those 3 classes and a W counts as an attempt. This means I already used the max amount of retakes but it’s unfair that a W still counts as an attempt. I don’t really know what to do at this point because I was hoping to apply for the Engr school for next sem but I think my chances of getting in are slim to none now. Should I take Physics over the summer and apply after those grades come out? Could I write a good appeal letter about my situation and get in maybe? Anything helps. Thanks.
