<p>Hey guys, I'm a freshmen in a community collage. I'm looking to transferring to Columbia or NYU as a Business major. As mentioned in the title, I am planning on dropping my ENG 1A class. The reason being, I have a horrible professor. Out of a class of 30 students, only 6 PASSED the first assignment and the rest failed. He puts a lot of his own personal opinions into grading your essay and replaces words you specifically chose. </p>
<p>So now the question is, how much would "w" on my future transcript affect me? I have been browsing around on the forum, and a lot of people said it's not that big of a deal, especially if it does not correspond with your major. But then again, ENG 1A is... a re-requ.. so yeah. I have a 3.88 - 4.00 GPA (exluding ENG), though it is too early to tell what the final result will be. So which is better: taking a "w" or getting a possible "c" and end up with a 3.34 - 3.5 GPA?</p>
