Having a W on your transcript

<p>Hello all,
I am currently a second semester freshman seeking to transfer out of my current school for the fall semester. In the event that I cannot transfer out, I am most certainly going to attempt to transfer for the spring semester in the fall. My target school at the moment is NYU.</p>

<p>At the moment, I have A's in all my classes except for one in particular (pre calculus). I don't know how well I will do in this course, hence my interest in withdrawing. I want to make sure that my GPA is as high as it can be, with that said I do understand that a W on my transcript may hurt me in the long run. My question is how badly will it hurt my chances of transferring out as a second semester freshman/first semester sophomore?</p>

<p>Thanks for all the help, it is appreciated.</p>

<p>And will it hurt my chances of being admitted to grad school? Thanks.</p>
