<p>So I am currently at a community college, i'm taking 15 credits, I am the president of my club, and i work a part-time job on the weekends. That should give you an idea of how busy my schedule is.</p>
<p>My supervisor is leaving which leaves an open spot for a supervisor and I would like to apply for this position. "IF" they did promote me to supervisor, I would definitely need to drop one of my classes.</p>
<p>Now my question is: Is this a good idea? Dropping my class would mean I would have a "W" on my transcript, but then on the positive side I would be able to put on my transcript that I was a supervisor. How do you think other schools would take this "w"?</p>
<p>Take the W if the opportunity arises. It’s a valid reason for a withdrawal. Plus, when you begin applying to schools just be sure to explain the W in the “Additional Information” section. </p>
<p>A majority of students drop courses because they cannot handle the course load or to protect their GPA, but as I mentioned above your reason is a valid one. Focus on your grades, finishing prerequisites, and try not to have any more Ws. Good luck.</p>
<p>Do you need the money? If so, apply for the job and if you get it, take it. Then cut your classwork back to part-time, and finish your AA or AS in a couple more semesters but with more money in your pocket.</p>
<p>Do you secretly want to be working rather than studying right now? Nothing wrong with that, but if so, it’s time to get honest with yourself about it, apply for the job, and once the semester is over, concentrate on earning money for a bit. Then go back to school when you truly want to be there.</p>
<p>If you don’t need the money, and your primary goal is to finish your AA or AS and move on, then don’t apply for promotion. Keep working just enough to cover the expenses you need to cover, and devote your energy to your grades. When it comes time to transfer, your GPA is going to be waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay more important than your work history or your ECs.</p>
