<p>How bad does it look to have a withdrawal on my high school transcript? Will it hurt my chances of getting in? </p>
<p>I'm currently taking US Gov online but I simply do not have time for it... (summer reading, work, volunteering, etc) I can continue the class but I'm afraid I'll get a B and bring down my GPA. I'm thinking about withdrawing from the class... but i'm not sure how bad that will look on my transcripts. </p>
<p>Please help! I need advice asap! Thank you</p>
<p>During the FSU Admissions tour a parent asked this question. Based on what I heard, I don’t think the W will affect your grade.</p>
<p>My suggestion would be to just continue in the class and take the B. A B here and there is, by no means, a bad thing. I think you’ll be fine. </p>
<p>But yeah, it probably couldn’t hurt to just ask.</p>
<p>I’m in agreement with Robbeh here. A B isn’t bad. Why drop the class simply because you’re not going to get an A? </p>
<p>Compared to a B on your transcript, a W might actually look worse. It might call into question a lot of things (of course, that’s if anyone actually cares. Does it matter? Probably not).</p>
<p>When you get into college, if you start dropping every class that you aren’t getting an A in, you’re probably going to struggle to even graduate.</p>
<p>Lets say worst case scenario I do drop the class… Will that hurt my chances of getting into the college? If I have one withdrawal on my transcript??</p>
<p>Realistically, I doubt there would be any impact. It might catch an admissions officer’s eye and make them go “huh” but that’s likely it, especially if your profile is good anyway.</p>
