<p>I am considering dropping one of my classes from my Community College I already got one W and if I drop this class it will be my second. I am not to worried about how it looks to the school I plan on transfering to but I am really worried about how it will look when I apply to grad school. How do you guys think several W's (counting a couple classes I might drop while I am attending a four year school)would look on a transcript?</p>
<p>why do you need to take so many W's? I mean honestly, if you can't handle the courses at a community college I think a few W's are the least of your worries.</p>
<p>Do you have a valid excuse for them?</p>
<p>I have 3 W's :) ... Just add a little note explaining the W's and try not to get any your final semester before applying as a transfer.</p>
<p>A good way to make up for the W's would be to take some really tough courses(tougher than the courses you got W's in) your final semester before applying and get A's or A-'s in all of them. Then you can use the old 'I once was depressed and unable to focus on school but i've now fixed my problems' excuse. </p>
<p>As far as grad school, i don't think W's in lower division courses will hurt at all. Just try and avoid getting them in your junior and senior years(and if you do get them,..make sure it's in some class like 'singing' or art...and not a class required for your major.</p>
<p>right now I am commuting to a college thats around 30-40 minuts away from my house and my car just blew it's transmission and I have no means of transportation to get to my CC and renting a car is way out of my budget. So right now I can not make to any of my classes thats why I am getting a W. My first semester I dropped a class because I was stupid but besides thats the only W I have.</p>
<p>Don't stress it..just try not to get any more....</p>
<p>Say I go to UCLA and take classes at a community college for credit at UCLA. Will grad school still look at th elttter grades I receive at the community college? ... just curious</p>
<p>if they do I seriously doubt those grades will weigh heavily on any decision they make.</p>
<p>Applying to grad school you do not have to worry about 2 W's. Believe me it is NOT that big of a deal. It is better to take 1 or 2 W's than 1 or 2 C's!!!</p>
