<p>Does one withdrawal grade severely impact your chances to get into grad school for petroleum engineering. P.S The course is an anthropology course not an engineering one. Is it really going to kill my chances.</p>
<p>It won’t kill or even severely impact your chances. Don’t worry about it.</p>
<p>lol, I knowso many engineering majors who have had trouble with anthropology. Nearly everyone I know has dropped that course. Boring as hell, lol.</p>
<p>No it won’t EFFECT your application drastically if at all.</p>
<p>“No it won’t EFFECT your application drastically if at all.”</p>
<p>Uh huh… Now which university taught you this? <em>takes out black marker</em></p>
<p>“Affect”? Probably. Keep you out? Not likely. I had two withdrawals on my transcript - in classes related to my major, which I wasn’t able to retake before applying. I still got into some top 10 schools in my field.</p>
<p>If the rest of your record is tight and your application is excellent otherwise, this can be overlooked. (I had a 3.6 in my major other than those grades.)</p>
<p>Haha sorry, I love playing with those types of words. Can’t help myself sometimes ;)</p>
<p>Oy… that whole affect/effect… one of my pet peeves.</p>
<p>To OP. No. 3 gets fishy looks.</p>
<p>This thread is positively ancient. The OP’s question was addressed over a month ago. Not sure why someone decided to resurrect it.</p>
<p>Hi, I have the same question,but mine applies to an one upper division course and one lower division, btw, I plan to drop and I am first semester freshmen. DO grad schools allow to explain if neccessary?</p>
