How bad does a "W" look in a Transcript?

<p>Alright... I just transferred to the University of Connecticut this spring semester and I'm not doing too well in a class. The last day to drop is next Monday. Its a required Western History course. I got a B- on my first essay and then he failed me on my midterm essay, which was very unexpected. I didn't think my essay was that bad, I mean a F!?
I don't think I'll even be able to pull out a C.</p>

<p>I am currently a sophomore and even if drop this course I'll have 60 credits to put me in Junior status, 48 transferred credits and the 12 credits I'll get. </p>

<p>This is my first semester at UConn and this course will instantly destroy my GPA. I also need a 2.9 to stay in the business school (based on this semesters work, they don't look at transferred grades anymore), and staying and trying to do better in this course will put me in serious risk. </p>

<p>How will a "W" on my transcript look to employers for internships, eventually full-time jobs, and grad school? Like I said, I transferred to UConn just this semester and there was really no adjust time between the Fall Semester and Spring Semester. I literally made the decision to transfer the last day possible and I'm on campus a few days later. I wouldn't say I don't like it here but I'll be lying if I say I don't have some regrets about transferring to UConn. But it has been a huge change for me.</p>

<p>Any comments would be great, Thanks!</p>

<p>I don't think its that bad. I have one (shouldn't though..) and I got into 2 of my transfer schools so far (not sure about the other 2) with very good amounts of aid.</p>

<p>One of my professors also said she had one, and she got into grad school at an ivy league.</p>

<p>So yeah, not the end of the world, I just would try to keep it at one.</p>

<p>It's better than having a "F" on your transcript.</p>
