<p>So I have a class which I'm not doing particularly well in and I would like to drop it and I only have until the 5th of November to do so. I was hoping to transfer in the Fall of 2008 and I was wondering if having a W on my transcript would be a bad thing? I would still have 14 credit hours and a solid GPA minus this other course. </p>
<p>Anyone with suggestions? Quickly please haha</p>
<p>plenty of people transfer to great schools with a W. I myself don't have one but I did retake a class I got a B- in.</p>
<p>Most schools do not care, particularly if it is only once or twice. </p>
<p>If it gets to be more than that, some schools might want some sort of explanation. Others will not care. It just depends.</p>
<p>I think it's fine. After all, people drop classes for all sorts of reasons, not just bad grades (scheduling problems, class not what you expected, ect.) so I wouldn't think the school would assume it was something Bad, if it's just this once and your other grades are good.</p>
<p>I have a similar question...right im a freshman also looking to transfer for fall '08 and I want to drop bio. my remaining classes would be my FYS, calc, and chem. this only leaves me with 12 credits and a W so im really worried how much it will effect my chances. I have until November 9th :X</p>
