I am a freshman at a top 20 university who has recently withdrawn from one of my classes. I am on 5 organizations (with 3 3 major leadership positions) that occupy much of my time and the course had no relevance to my major, so I met with my dean and he advised that I withdraw. Having done this, I am already considering the possibility of transferring (ideally to an ivy/top 20 university-not for prestige, I just don’t love my current school that much), and I was wondering if anyone has any knowledge of how much a single W harms a transfer application at one of those schools? I went from 5 classes and 16 credits to 4 classes and 13 credits.
