"w"

Transfer Students UC Transfers

<p>Hello every one:</p>

<p>I am an Electrical Enginering major and so far I have 3 "W"s, 4.0 Gpa of major and 3.92 overal GPA. I still have four more major class to take. I am willing to apply to UCLA and I am wondering if my Ws are gonna hurt me or not. The other cquestion is that I want to take one of my classes which I got "W" in, in another community college. Is this going to look bad for admission people (thinking that "the guy took the class in another place to get A instead of a low grade?"). </p>

<p>Thank You All</p>

<p>i had 7 W’s GPA of 3.9 but most of my w’s were non transferable … but i made sure that i did not get any w’s after those and my grade trend was more upward and also when i got those w’s i was working 60 hours a week and doing school full time. so if you can show positive reasons why you have the w’s and make sure you don’t get any more w’s and maintain a high GPA you will be fine.</p>

<p>I have 14 W’s and got accepted into Bioengineering:Biotech at UCSD. Its really not a big deal, just write a blurb about it in your application.</p>

<p>Also, it looks good when you retake the class (the admissions people have no way to tell if you dropped the class 2 weeks in or 2 months).</p>

<p>On the sticky faq on this site, says W’s don’t matter (applying to UC’s). I’m pretty sure it doesn’t also but it might affect you when you apply to grad school+med/law school though if you plan on doing that.</p>
