Epq help!!!

So, I took EPQ at the start of A2 and now I want to drop it. My uni offers didnt even mention epq and my grades at the moment is not great. Averaging B/C and EPQ is such a burden. I lost interest in it and I haven't done anything/minimal effort put into it. I asked if I could drop it and they're saying no as we were "told" that you couldn't since the beginning. I thought that too hence why I reached this far into EPQ knowing that I hate it, but a few weeks ago a few of my friends were allowed to drop it and how come they're telling me no? I'm gonna keep telling my teacher that I want to drop it so I could use the time to revise for my other subjects instead of wasting time on EPQ that is so damn useless, unless you can get an A*/A , unis doesnt even bat an eye. Worst decision I've made in my whole damn life 😂 Anyone been in this situation before too? and what did you do?

Talk to the programme leader, not necessarily your teacher. Possibly the head of A Levels.

The head of EPQ is my teacher. I told her through email since we only meet once a week and she doesnt have any free time. I am yet to reply and say that some people already dropped it so why is she telling me that we couldn't. I know it's late but if they force me to continue with it, I simply will not do anything because my priority at the moment is improving my grades since I only have a couple months till the real exams and I'm not sacrificing hours and hours to do this stupid EPQ when I could utilise my time to improve my grades.
