Thinking of dropping a course?

<p>I'm currently taking Physics without Calculus Lecture at my local state university.
However, I feel overwhelmed with work since I'm also doing General Chem 1 Lecture and Lab, and 8 other classes at my high school...
would it look bad if I withdraw from the course? It would show up as a W grade on my transcript. Would this affect my GPA or look bad? This is also my first time dropping a course and I am a junior. (Planning to go to Ivys as well)</p>

<p>If you do, have your guidance counsellor send a letter explaining the situation. I think it’s generally better to have fewer classes that you’re doing better in than a huge course load with some Bs and maybe Cs.</p>
