Consequences of dropping a major required course (with a W) BEFORE filing a TAG application?

Hello. I am currently in my first year of a CCC, and currently planning to TAG to UC Irvine for Computer Science for Fall 2018. Right now, I am taking Calculus 2—a major required course—and I am struggling a lot with it. I was planning on dropping the course for a W this quarter and retake it the next quarter. However, I am not sure if this would affect any future TAG applications I would apply for next year. I have already scheduled a counselor’s appointment next week to discuss this, but I would like to know what to expect ahead of time. I hope all those reading have a straightforward answer to my question. Thank you.

Note: Will be bumping this post regularly

It won’t affect it.

Hey @Ohm888, thank you for replying. I appreciate it. You’ve given me a lot of peace of mind before my counseling appointment. If it is not any trouble for you, I’d like to know how you are so sure. Have you experienced or witnessed this situation yourself? Thanks again.

A lot of people have Ws. Don’t worry.
