I have a 4.0 GPA at my community college, and my dream school is USC. I signed up for Calc II this semester, and I realized I’m overloading myself so I want to drop it. If I drop the class, I will have a “W,” and I have never had that before so would that affect my chances of admissions anywhere? On a side note, I already finished all prerequisites for my intended major at the Marshall School of Business, and I am taking all the recommended classes as well (Stats, Econ 1 & 2, Acct, etc.)
Essentially, what I’m trying to say is the “W” is in a course that really does not matter to them and has no relation to my major. I am positive I can continue maintaining the 4.0, but I just don’t want to jeopardize my chances of being admitted to private institutions like USC with the “W.” Would I still be in great shape?
