<p>Is it ok? I heard from people a few w's isnt that bad.</p>
<p>Not at all! Then again, it really depends on the context. A few W’s scattered throughout semesters of A’s and B’s will not hinder your chances of acceptance; on that note, a whole semester of W’s or W’s surrounded by less than ideal grades will probably need some explaining. Admissions Officers generally will not give much thought to a W for a student who otherwise has shown academic success. :)</p>
