<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>
