Just curious - can W's be erased?

<p>First of all, forgive me for being clueless. I just wanted to know if it was truly impossible instead of having the inapproachable "Ask Me Anything" lady at my college rip my head off for asking.</p>

<p>Does anyone know if a W can be erased from a transcript at all? I can't find any solid info about this. </p>

<p>For instance, I took Statistics in the Fall but I dropped it because of various reasons. I'm taking Honors Statistics currently and I'm doing well (knock on wood - my midterm's tomorrow!). Is it possible for my new Stats to make up for the old one?</p>

<p>nope W’s stay on your records forever</p>

<p>HELL NO. i wish.</p>

<p>Well you can retake the class which looks good for grad/med/whatever school…but the W stays there…not really a big deal if you do well the second time.</p>

<p>well when you tranfer, i hear they dont really care for W’s. I remember i read this guy in this forum saying he had like 8 W’s and he got into UCLA. But it probably took him awhile to transfer…</p>

<p>best thing you could try is academic renewal for those classes you dropped if you wanna retake em.</p>

<p>Honestly, this is one W that you received. I’m assuming you’ve only gotten one. It won’t affect your post-grad aspirations. I mean this is your freshman or sophomore year, and at a community college. When you’re being evaluated for grad/med/business school, your grade trend and most recent coursework are all that will matter.</p>

<p>I know a girl who got an F in a course her junior year, and now she is in an Ivy League school for her graduate work. It’s all about how ya bounce back. I wouldn’t worry about the W at all. I also have one.</p>

<p>Thanks for the answers, guys. I actually have a total of 2 Ws. They just irritate me because I could have avoided them, but I guess it’s no big deal.</p>

<p>Thanks again. :)</p>
