Another "w" question

Transfer Students
1

<p>basically right now I have C+/B- in this one course
its not my major course
but i already dropped one course last term (without W)
but if I drop this one, I will get a W on my transcript and the admission ppl will see that I did not match up to "normal" standards at my school
I am sure I can get away with at least a B- but its debatable whether I can get B-/B/B+....</p>

<p>So without this course my GPA will be around 3.77
but with it it will be 3.5
im applying to top schools and I was wondering what I should do...</p>

<p>Take the W. I don't think it looks that bad, especially if it isn't a major course.</p>

<p>You should call an admissions counselor; it's hard to tell you what THEY are going to think when they see that.</p>

<p>There is a "search this forum" tool and it's really helpful, I'm not going to c/p all of the threads there are on this subject, but hopefully you find them helpful. Most of the repliers provided really good answers and they will most likely help you out with making you final decision. I hope this helps, :).</p>
