Help! Should I drop?

Transfer Students
1

<p>I'm currently a freshmen and want to transfer to BU next year--I was waitlisted for this year. I'm taking 18 credits this semester and may very well end up with a C or D in Honors Chemistry. At this point, I can only take a W. Should I take the W or hope for a B and risk a bad grade? It's a 3 credit course, so I'll have 15 this semester if I do.</p>

<p>Yes....I'd drop, as long as you don't drop anymore classes this term or next.</p>

<p>Yeup...what Isleboy said. They should be more understanding since you are taking an 18 credit load.</p>

<p>Tough decision. I failed the first test (there are only 3 tests/grades). He said if i get a b on the next two, he'll pretend it doesn't exist. tough to tell.</p>

<p>Over the course of two years, what would be the most acceptable # of Ws on one's transcript? 1? 2?</p>

6

<p>NONE. </p>

<p>***** 10 ch</p>

7

<p>Man, op. </p>

<p>I would work extra hard to get the B. Use the prof's office hours and work things hard.</p>

8

<p>"NONE. </p>

<p>***** 10 ch"</p>

<p>Obviously that would be the ideal #, but when does it become something that could really be detrimental to your application and require explanations?</p>

<p>One is fine. Two...I dunno</p>

10

<p>a couple of W's are okay...</p>

<p>Well, BU will only see this one semester because I"ll be applying for next fall. That means I'll go from 18 credits to 15 credits and have a W in that one semester.</p>

<p>oh i see.....</p>
