W or C on Transcript?

<p>Hi Everyone!</p>

<p>I'm new to the forum and I am hoping that I can get some help here. I am a CC student and I hope to transfer to a UC school in 2 years. I am capable of getting A's in all of my classes, except for one. My Calculus course this year is taught by an incredibly incompetent instructor. That, however, isn't worth me wasting my time discussing. My question is, if I withdraw from this class and have to take a "W" on my transcript, will that look bad and hurt my chances of getting into a UC school. Right now UCLA is my number one and I am afraid a "W" will destroy my chances of getting in. I doubt I will be able to earn any higher than a C this semester.</p>

<p>Is it better to take a C or withdraw and get a W? Thank you all very much for your help!</p>

<p>A few W’s won’t really kill your chances. However, you should prove the UC’s by retaking those courses and do well in them.</p>
