Question about dropping a non-transferrable class with a W

Transfer Students UC Transfers

<p>Hey had a quick question.</p>

<p>I know "W" on transcripts are bad, but if its for a class that is not even UC-Transferrable does it make an impact?</p>

<p>Im currently taking Trigonometry at a CCC, I am planning on just taking the Placement Test to bump myself up into Calc1A already (although i have to wait 2 more month to take it again), so I want to drop the course, cause it doesnt benefit me really.</p>

<p>Will my non-transferrable course even be mentioned in a UC application? For example I took Intermediate Algebra last quarter and got an A+; will that even show anywhere when applying? Will it even show up at all on the list of courses I took to transfer into UCs? And its doesnt apply at all to the UC GPA right? </p>

<p>So having a "W" for a course that isnt even accepted wont affect anything right?</p>

<p>bump bump bump</p>

<p>Some colleges look at your overall GPA. There’s a thread about W’s here so you may wanna check that out.</p>

<p>The application asks you to list everything on your transcripts, the admissions people in theory should thus see it. Unless you have a bunch of Ds on your transcript, having a W on there shouldn’t hurt you at all. </p>

<p>This site kinda makes me laugh, when I see someone that has a spectacular record (some people with their “buffed” GPAs of 4.5, 4.6, etc) panicking over UC Berkeley possibly not accepting them. </p>

<p>But why would you drop the class if it’s so trivial?</p>

<p>lol OP I like your name. It’s from I love you man</p>

<p>i feel i could rather focus my time on studying pre-cal for the placement test, than be in the trig class. I am doing a full schedule, so it would significantly help to not have to worry about another class. </p>

<p>And i didnt know an applicant had to list all their courses, thats a good thing to know. thanks. </p>

<p>Very useful info, I appreciate it. </p>

<p>haha Totes Mcgoats, vintij, haha.</p>

<p>Dude, I suggest u stay in that class. If u need calc, full comprehension of trig is essential. Just take p/np and learn as much as possible.</p>

<p>What did you end up doing JoeBin ? Also, how far along are you in your session/semester?</p>

<p>All the math classes build together and without a trig class Calc 1/2 will be torturous</p>

<p>Haha, even with a trig class, even if you get an A and love it, you’ll get confused by trig in calc, it happens!</p>

<p>The most important thing is to know not just how, but why the formulas in trig exist, and how to use them without trig cards. :)</p>

<p>

not true, you don’t really need to know much trig for calc1</p>

<p>cal2 will be absolute hell though. If you don’t have your trig down, plan on repeating calc2</p>
