Do W's get replaced on your transcript?

<p>I'm a incoming freshman in the University Division, and I want to apply for standard admission to Kelley after this year. I heard that anything below a B and/or having W's on your transcript basically ruins your chances of getting in.</p>

<p>I'm taking BUS-A100 the first 8 weeks of Fall semester. Suppose I withdrew and got a W, and attempted the class again during the second 8 weeks and got an A. When I applied to Kelley, would they see that I got a W the first time around or would they just see the A from the second time?</p>

<p>Thank you</p>

<p>I’m wondering the same thing.</p>

<p>they see the W but they don’t mind much if it is a W for a100 as long as u got at least a B the second time</p>

<p>I think you’d be okay. The bus honors program took into consideration Ws, as well. I got into the bus honors program despite a W in A100. I got A+ in A100 the second time around, though.</p>

<p>Most places would rather see a W than an F…I have 2 Ws on my college transcripts, one for Organic Chemistry Lecture, and one for Organic Chemistry Lab.</p>

<p>Something not very well known, but that can boost one’s GPA tremendously is the “Academic Forgiveness Policy” (also known as Extended-X) policy. My title above said it only applies to the first 45 units–but I see it now applies to all courses where someone gets a grade (and not a W, R, I, or NC.</p>

<p>For information about the policy, read the following:</p>

<p>Just for those who saw only the title of the last post.
Read my post above–this applies to all courses now.</p>
