<p>I've read a lot about how having a small number of Ws barely, if at all, affects your application, but explaining them helps.</p>
<p>I've attend Community College for 2 years and am now applying to some UCs for Fall 2011.</p>
<p>The two Ws I have are both in Math1 (Calculus).</p>
<p>One of them was during my very first semester at community college straight out of high school during summer. The pace was way too fast for me and I had about C and didn't want to start out with 5 units of C at a community college.
The second one was because the teacher was very difficult (or I guess you could say I wasn't trying hard enough :p).</p>
<p>I am now taking the course again, we only have two exams left and I literally have a 99% in the class.</p>
<p>Would I need to explain these two Ws in the additional comments box, and if so how would I go about explaining them?</p>
