I’m not sure if it counts as 4 W’s since I only dropped 2 classes. But they were Biology and Chemistry with labs. But the labs are counted separately as 1 credit classes so on my transcript it shows that I have a W in them, so I have 4 W’s on my transcript this year. I really underestimated how much work you are suppose to put in since I was a Peace Studies major freshmen year and that was a peace of cake. I can do better next semester now that I know how much work I am suppose to put in.
However, I feel like it would be pointless to continue on as a Health Science major since all natural science majors have to go to grad school since just a BS is completely useless. With 4 W’s I doubt any grad school would accept me. Plus I likely will have to take an extra year in undergrad to graduate.
Should I switch before it is too late? Should I major in something like Accounting where I won’t need to go to grad school?
Not sure yet, that’s why I made this thread. Should I narrow my options to majors that don’t require grad school to get a good job since my chances of any grad school accepting me are so slim now?
FWIW to become a CPA one needs 150 college credits. A typical undergrad degree is about 120 credits. So many accountants do go on to grad school to get a one year Master’s in accounting to get to the credit requirement. And employers at CPA firms do look at applicant’s GPA so that could be another concern (depending on how you define “pitiful”).
Also note that at some colleges it can be difficult to do an internal transfer to the b-school. And it may be hard to graduate in 4 years if you haven’t started taking the business core classes and you are going into second semester sophomore year. Check the graduation requirements at your college for any major you are considering switching into.
I do agree that the 2 W’s can fade back if you have a strong academic record moving forward.
