Take the C? Or the W......

<p>I'm applying to transfer this semester and GPA is 3.64. I think I can get an A in all classes except Statistics. It's been really tough for me despite tutoring and completing everything. I'm in the middle 70's so i could possible raise my grade to a B with all the remaining assignments.</p>

<p>I really want to just stick it out and do the best I can, but if it ends up I get a C, my GPA will go to a 3.59. I'm applying to Berkeley under American Studies, TAGs for all other schools.</p>

<p>I'm thinking this will hurt my chances at Cal, though GPA isn't the only factor they consider. But I've gone 3/4 of the way might as well finish than get a W....maybe I should stop worrying and work on it.</p>

<p>I would definitely take the W if I’m sure that I will end up getting a C. I talked to like 4 Berkely reps and they all said that UCs delete the courses that we got Ws in when making admission decisions. So you won’t be penalized by having a few Ws. They said that as long as we don’t get repeated Ws in same course, it won’t affect us at all.</p>
