<p>hello,</p>
<p>i'm thinking of dropping a class, and i am worried because i put on the applications that i would take 15 credits but if i drop this class i will only have 13 credits..
if i get accepted and send my final transcript with a class missing on it, would colleges like brown and rice reject me because i failed to take all courses i was originally planning to take?
one thing is that since this class im thinking of dropping is a second half course, i will be able to drop it without W...
but im still worried..</p>
<p>any ideas?</p>
<p>thank you guys~</p>
<p>i wouldnt worry too much. As long as this class wasnt a pre-req needed to transfer. But just in case call the university or email to find out.</p>
<p>thank you for the reply~
yeh it's not a pre-req..
im just taking this math class kinda as an elective because this will probably be my last semester at my current school and i did not have any other class to take...
but im still worried... maybe i should call them and ask
hmm...
anyone successfully transferred to a top school after dropping a class or two?</p>
<p>Why are you dropping this class?</p>
<p>too much work... and the instructor is so picky...</p>
<p>it's like i can get As or B+s for all other classes if i don't take this class
but with this class, i think i will mess up on the rest of classes im currently taking.. because this class is too much time consuming
yeh so i have to drop this class
as long as i won't be rejected because of this dropping..
hehe~</p>
<p>Just be careful, adcoms like Ws almost as much as they like Fs. I'd seriously call the adcom of your target school and ask. Especially if you have other Ws.</p>
<p>Good Luck!</p>
<p>oh i can drop this course without W because it's a second half course and it just started like 2 weeks ago.. so no W on transcript
wait... if i drop this class, with W or not, do adcoms simply look it as W because i failed to complete it?
i mean there is no difference between dropping a class with W and without W?</p>
<p>thanks~!</p>
<p>Sometimes its not even the students fault. I remember during drop/add time students were dropping cuz they were signed up for classes in different cities, or advisors signed them up for classes that they didnt have pre-reqs for. Also, some students drop/add to change sections etc etc.</p>
<p>I'm certain a dropped course doesn't show up on your transcripts. It's quite different from withdrawing from an attempted course.</p>
<p>Is there? </p>
<p>Maybe there is a difference of terminology between institutions, because there is a deadline to drop in our school and get a refund and the possibility to add another course. </p>
<p>Then there is a deadline late in the semester (usually after mid-terms) to drop without academic penalty.</p>
