Dilemma at Community College (Withdrawals)

<p>Okay so here is my dilemma CC.</p>

<p>I entered my 2nd Semester of CC with a modest GPA and decided to crank up the workload to 18 units (6 classes)</p>

<p>I found myself overloaded pretty quickly and dropped a Geology class that was irrelevant to my major (Business Economics)</p>

<p>But now I'm finding myself in major trouble and it might be too late. My accounting class has fallen apart and I am almost out of reach for even a B in the class. This would take me down to a mere 10 units though.</p>

<p>I cannot dare take a C on my transcript at this point but would a W be wise considering it would now make that 3 W's through 30 units?</p>

<p>I feel like it might be the only solution, I can easily get an A in the class with some extra time, but I need to nearly ace my next two exams to get a B even.</p>

<p>I’m assuming your a California Community College student. The geology course must’ve been for your IGETC for the science portion. 18 units isn’t that much.</p>

<p>My advice is drop the accounting course before it is too late. Your a business economics major who is probably trying to transfer to either UCLA or UCI (those are the only schools that offer that major). Accounting is a prereq course for that particular major. Take the W but remember that when admissions are reviewing your transcript that the W’s may hurt your chance of acceptance.</p>

<p>If you are hoping to transfer to a private university then W’s will most certainly hurt your admissions. Especially if it’s a transferrable prereq.</p>

<p>Any more opinions on this. It is a Pre-req for my major but I’m pretty sure I should let this one go.</p>

<p>Appreciate the advice MakeBank…</p>

<p>The W shouldn’t be that big of an issue as long as you go back through the class and do well in it.</p>

<p>If you don’t dare take a C on your transcripts, my only advice to you is to learn how to handle a moderate to heavy workload. If your GPA is as “modest” as you say it is, you’re gonna have to crank out a good number of credits to raise it to where you wanna be. </p>

<p>Drop it, but don’t let it happen again.</p>
