Dropped a course, when to report?

<p>I am about to drop a prereq class for my major because I will most likely fail the class. Should I report the W now by email, or should I wait until I get my acceptance letter? I applied to UCSD and UCLA. Also will I be given a chance to explain why I dropped the class?</p>

<p>Thank you!!</p>

<p>Email everywhere u applied to now saying that you dropped the course</p>
