<p>ok, so my application for winter 09 transfer at UMich is complete...I;ve sent them all my grades and my fall curriculum. but it looks like im going to have to drop a class. since all my fall classes are already turned in, will it look bad if i drop the course? that is, will it hurt my chances if i drop a course after i said i was going to take it?</p>
<p>furthermore, i would receive a “W” as a grade for the class i had dropped.</p>
<p>It’s obviously better than a WF, but I put any thought of dropping a class I didn’t like out of my head when I knew Ws would be attached.</p>
<p>I’d like to hear more experienced input though. I’m actually not positive about how detrimental Ws can be for your transcript.</p>
<p>Definitely looks bad, but it won’t obliterate your chances.</p>
<p>what is the reason? is it too difficult? if so, you probably have about a month left to drop it(depending on the university) before it counts as an F. try to bring the grade up. if you cant in a month then maybe consider dropping.</p>
