<p>Hello, I'm considering withdrawing from a course on FLVS <a href="during%20the%20grace%20period">b</a>** and my guidance counselor has alerted me that this will show up on my transcript. I aspire to go to MIT or Harvard, will this affect my chances? I only signed up for this course because my guidance counselor originally told me that I couldn't take the course that I wanted to take. However, now the guidance counselor went back on this statement and is saying that I can take the course that I originally wanted, thus causing me to consider withdrawing from this course. If I voice this on my application, will it remove any negative impact caused by the withdrawal? Thank you in advance.</p>

<p>A withdrawal on your transcript is equal to an F in my school. If that’s the case at your school, you REALLY shouldn’t withdraw.
If you can now take the class in school, which will prevent a “withdraw” on your transcript, then you can do what you want without negative implications. </p>
