Please, correct my essay.
The man says that he took Pass/Fail last semester in my Statistics class. He figured the best I could get was C. He didn’t want that to bring down his GPA. The man also says why withdrawal policy goes on transcript after the fourth week. Students are supposed to withdraw if they think the course will e too high or if it’s not what you expected or if you don’t like the professor. It’s meant to avoid an F, not to erase one. That’s why it shows up on your transcript if you withdraw after the fourth week.

Hi Nik;
Here's a general comment. We use "the man" when we do not know who the person is, only that he is male. (The man waiting at the bus stop was smoking a cigarette.)
That does not seem to be true in your essay. It would be better to say "another student" or (informally) "a guy in my class." Also, the present tense sounds a bit odd, and you mix up the tenses. If
