USD Spring Transfer

I applied to transfer and I am considering dropping a course. The course will be removed from my schedule since it’s earlier in the semester and no W will be given because it’s not a withdrawal. They already know I was taking that course because it was on the transcript as planned coursework. Midterm grades will be sent to USD in a few weeks. Do you know if my application will be affected if I drop the course? Has anyone had experience with this? Thanks!
