<p>Hello. I know that this has been asked plenty of times already, but I was hoping to get some advise from you guys.</p>
<p>I am in my first year as transfer bio-sci student at UCI in California. This quarter, I was trying to add one more class in order to fulfill my unit requirements, so I waitlisted myself in multiple classes. I was successfully able to get into one class; however, I made an extremely idiotic mistake by not taking myself off the waitlist in the other class that I was trying to add. I just found out today that it turns out that even though I was #30 on the waitlist, I still got in, even though I did not want to take it anymore. It added my automatically. The problem is, the drop deadline passed 3 days ago, and it won't let me "drop" it anymore. I thought it would at least give me a warning if I was to be able to add into the class, so it slipped from my mind.</p>
<p>This is seriously so stupid, and I really can't stop thinking how dumb I am for making this mistake. I really cannot take this class anymore because this class is just an elective (a management class that I thought would be cool to take, but only as a unit-filler), and I do not want to risk my grades in my actual bio-related classes just to take this elective.</p>
<p>So is there anything else you guys recommend I should do to NOT get a W?</p>
<hr>
<p>As for my second question, if I DO have to get a W, how bad would that be if I was trying to get into a grad school (med/dental/pharmacy)? I have one previous W from my CC before transferring, and that was because I took another elective that I thought would be nice to take, but ended up taking way too much of my time and focus for my more important classes (I try to do too much, and it really bites me in the butt in the end, I know). </p>
<p>Again, this is an elective class that I really do not need at all (just a unit-filler, and has nothing to do with my major). And taking this class would be too much for me.</p>
<p>So how bad would this affect my chances with regards to getting into a grad school? Would it be REALLY bad?</p>
<p>Thank you for your time and help in advance.</p>
