<p>No, this is not the can I lie about my GPA type of question.</p>
<p>I have a dilemma, I am not doing well in my ergonomics class and I am thinking about dropping it, but if I drop it now, it shows a W in my transcript. My gpa for the semester projected is at around 3.8 without the class, and 3.4 with the class, so it's a 0.4 point swing.
The biggest thing, however, is that a 3.8 brings my GPA up to 3.5 while 3.4 keeps my gpa at around 3.3. I know 3.5 goes a long way as it is a cut off for many consulting and banking internships which I will be looking for next semester. (It's a huge swing because I really havnt completed that many credits at U of M so far, I drop a course every semester and complete 10 credits on average per semester, thank god i had around 35 AP credits to lean on, I am still on track to graduate in 4 years)</p>
<p>However, I have been having 3 Ws in my past 3 semester already (1 W per semester). I know employers dont like to see that because it makes you appear as someone who doesnt appear to finish off what you started. But from what I heard, most people get offered without look at the transcript anyway and transcript is for final verification, so it might be worth it to take my 4th W and keep my GPA up?</p>
<p>Does anyone have any insight? is this true?
oh and say if it is true, would a company offer based on a GPA, verified the GPA is right, but rescind because I have too many Ws on the transcript?</p>
