How much impact will chronic W's have?

<p>Hopefully this isn't the typical "W" grade question (I tried to search for something very similar, but to no avail).</p>

<p>I've taken four semesters of community college so far. This includes Summer '09, Fall '09, Spring '10, and Summer '10. Unfortunately, I have received three W's. This includes one in Fall '09, one in Spring '10, and one for this Summer '10. </p>

<p>Will these chronic W's significantly decrease my chances of getting into a competitive university such as Berkeley or UCLA? My GPA still stands at above 3.85 which is above the average GPA admitted for my major (Political Science). </p>

<p>Thanks for your thoughts.</p>

<p>What I’m told is that Ws won’t hurt your chances at the Undergrad level but may impede your chances of getting into Grad level.</p>

<p>three is fine, more not so much</p>

<p>Fine. I have like 8 or 9 Ws and I got into everywhere.</p>

<p>*edit. You should at least have a good excuse for them.</p>
