Need advice, will W or B hurt my chances more?

Hey everyone,

So I recently got my AA degree at my community college. I am an anthropology major and my last class left to take it statistics.

I’m taking it now in the 5 week semester but I have till July 5th to drop with a W. I am considering doing this because I am struggling very hard in the class, and I work full time too. My schedule is a mess and I did not do well on the first test which is supposed to be the easiest.

Realistically I know I can get a B in this class but not an A. I have a 3.94 gpa right now if I get a B it’d drop me to 3.87. I want to go to UCLA real badly. My counselor said I can drop and take the class in the fall as an “in progress” course.

I’m not sure what’s better…
A) Get a B and drop my gpa to 3.87
Or
B) Get a W, have four W’s in total but take the class in the fall and keep my high gpa.

Thanks for the help

Will you suddenly be able to get an A in the class next fall? If not, then stick with the class now.
