And I can only speak for Medical School, since that’s where I’m applying to after undergrad. Any failing grade you had and replaced will be counted towards your overall GPA, it doesn’t matter if you had just one D and replaced it with an A it still counts. And one or two Ws are fine, nothing wrong with that, but if they see more than three Ws that may raise some red flags, and for medical school where there’s so much competition a W with no reasonable explanation can really hurt your chances. Again I’m not saying you can’t have any W in your transcript, what I’m saying is that people should just be careful and think of the consequences their Ws and failing grades (even if replaced) can have in their future for grad school.</p>
