"W" or B-/C+

I am a prospective transfer student in her first year at college. Second semester hit me hard, and I got straight As first semester and am doing pretty well (B-range/A-range) in my classes this semester – except for one. I am really struggling with a particular class, and the highest I will be able to get my grade up to is a C+. With a miracle, I could maybe swing a B-. So, is it better to withdraw from the class or risk the hit to my GPA? I want to know what would look better on a transcript for future schools I’d like to transfer to. I know neither option is great, but I’m trying to decide what the lesser of the 2 evils is.Thanks!

I’d say take the W. Most definitely.

although the W won’t mess up your GPA, colleges may ask you to explain it. However I think they allow you to have no more than 2 W’s
