<p>Hey Everyone! My names Samantha and I am currently completing my first semester at Florida international university. I am majoring in English and working on my bachelors. I also have a bit of an Issue. My entire family is moving either Baltimore, Pennsylvania or Virginia next fall and I don't have the means to stay in such an expensive city alone (I love in Miami) I am currently taking five courses within FIU and I find the workload to be completely different than high school. I am still trying to get the hang of studying for the exam and I am struggling to obtain my usual performance skills. I am considering dropping a class (mat1033 aka intermediate algebra) so that I can focus on my psychology and English classes that I am already taking (I am also taking SLS and a sculpting class) Would the universities I am applying for have a problem with two w's? Would they find me to be a weak and/or immature candidate if I were to drop two course? The first w was accidental since my counselor signed me up for a class I didn't want to take (I dropped the class after orientation and I had no idea what a w was) My question is, if I drop my mat class will it affect my chances of getting into the following universities </p>
<p>Penn state
University of Maryland
University of Virginia
John Hopkins
George Washington University
Tufts </p>
<p>Oh, and I had a 3.6 weighted GPA in high school, 120 community service hours and some AP Courses that I've passed. I am also a minority woman (I was born here but my parent are from Peru). I really want to get into these universities, and want to know if it still be possible if I had this two W's with a high GPA. Thank you all so much for your help!!!</p>
