W on transcript

<p>i am a freshman and have decided to withdraw from a class. how will a w on my transcript look? keep in mind it has no effect on my gpa of 3.8+. do you think i will need to write an addendum to explain this?</p>

<p>I believe this has been addressed already --use the Search option on this forum.</p>

<p>Nonetheless, it will prevent you from getting into any law school in the country. The ABA established in their Bylaws that no student with a W on their transcripts shall be accepted. <em>sighs</em></p>

<p>Good luck!</p>

<p>...On a serious note, just don't make it a trend and you should be fine. Make sure your profile is good to outstanding, depending on where you hope to attend. </p>

<p>An addendum is always a good thing. Just don't send it with your application. Send it separately, and make it brief and concise. Hope this helps! </p>

<p>By the way, doing some research on the side never hurts :)</p>
