I am an out-of-state student, and I plan to transfer to UW in summer 2018, but this morning I overslept and I missed my math mid-term exam and I could not retake it again. Now I could get at most 80% of total score, so I am going to withdraw this course. It is calculus, and need to cooperate with other course, so I can’t drop it. I just want to know if there is a “W” on my transcript, will that affect to me? All of my other courses have a good grade, so I just wonder I need to withdraw this course or just get a score lower than 80% at the end of semester?
A couple of Ws shouldn’t hurt you too much, as long as you don’t make it a trend. When I transferred to UW of the 4 quarters they saw on my application I dropped Calculus on my 3rd. However, the next quarter I retook the class with a 4.0 and I was still accepted. My sister’s trying to transfer with a W in her latest quarter so we’ll see how that goes
