<p>im in a class where their is a possibility i could end up with a c. but my gpa right now at my cc is 3.0 and a C will bring it down to somewhere in the high 2's. I would rather drop the class get a W and repeat the class and get an A in retaking it. But i already have one w on my transcript too.</p>
<p>should i stick in the class or drop it?</p>
<p>Depends on where you want to apply. IF you're attending a CCC: UC's (at least the ones I know about) don't care about W's. I don't know about other universities. However, 2 W's are usually not a big deal.</p>
<p>what if the W's are in the same subject?</p>
<p>Still, if you're applying to UC's from a CCC, W's shouldn't matter. No matter what subject.</p>
<p>However, if you are not applying to a UC--for example, if you are applying to USC--then they do care about how many "W"s you have--and they would especially frown on two in the same course.</p>

<p>Could I find that on their website?</p>
<p>take the W and not the C. A W isn't the end of the world but a C hurts the gpa fairly significantly</p>
<p>Go read the USC transfer thread (it's under the Transfer students section, not under USC). One of the guys on there talked about how he met a counselor to discuss his record so far--and the counselor practically "freaked out" just because he had one "W".</p>
<p>My son and I (I'm the parent, he's the one thinking about transferring) went to USC this past summer and met with people in the "articulation agreement" section--and they all said the same thing--USC hates to see a lot of "W"s.
(My son has only one--when his alarm clock didn't go off before a midterm).</p>
