How will dropping a non-academic class affect my chances?

Transfer Students

<p>Hi,</p>

<p>I'm a transfer applicant to many ivies and top 20 schools from NYU. I really detest my beginning piano class, and have no motivation to continue. Would it negatively affect my chances if I were to drop the class? I really have no more patience, but if it would, then I will work through it...</p>

<p>Thanks,</p>

<p>Bump please, kinda desperate at this point…</p>

<p>It’s usually best to keep the class instead of dropping it (unless you’re going to severely fail it then that’s a different issue)</p>

<p>I don’t know… I’m pretty certain my professor would not let me get anything higher than a “C”. Would it change the situation considering it’s a 2 credit piano class?</p>

<p>AdComs understand that people drop courses for all sorts of reasons. A W on your transcript, especially for a course outside of your major, is really not a big deal. Moreover, a W during your freshman and sophomore year is common.</p>
