<p>If you end up transferring, C > W because you will still get the transfer credit without the GPA carrying over.
But if you don't end up transferring, C < W (as long as you don't have too many Ws)</p>
<p>In either case a W trumps anything LOWER than a C, so C- < W.</p>
<p>If you've gotten into the school already, and this is your last few weeks of your current school, then take the C. I'm getting a B- in my Calc 2 class, and while it's not required, I get credits for it. It'll lower my GPA but they won't transfer over and I can explain it.</p>
<p>If you haven't gotten into your school, then take the W. You can explain it on your application.</p>
<p>Thanks guys. Yes I agree I think I will take the C. More replies would be nice though.</p>
<p>Any more input would be nice. Thanks.</p>
<p>I'd still say W is better than anything lower than an A... but if you have a bunch of B's already a C probably won't make too big of a difference</p>
<p>yea one semester when my GPA was a 3.3, i got 1 C and it lowered it to a 3.1. So get the W if you can.</p>
<p>Dont take the w!</p>
<p>Just make sure you are a solid C, i.e. don't let it slip into a D or worse F during the final. Once you transfer, your GPA starts anew. That can be both a good or bad news. On one hand you get a fresh chance to graduate with 4.0. :) But you'll have to achieve that with much tougher classes.</p>
<p>Often time, grad school adcom assesses your "competencies" from your transcript(s). They are most interested at the core and advanced courses you've taken, who you took them from and your grades. If this specific class is an important class for your major/field of study, consider re-taking it in your new college.</p>
<p>W is fine to take if you havent been accepted into college yet, it doesnt hinder your GPA. It wont take it down any points. If you have been accepted,, take the C since the class will transfer.</p>
<p>I had to take a W since i had a scheduling conflict b/w Drexel and CC.</p>
<p>im going to take the class over the summer when I dont have a conflict though.</p>
<p>surft, i guess you havent been reading all the comments lately, but this is his last semester. He shouldnt take the W.</p>
<p>no im too lazy. I just read the last post and respond! HAHA!</p>
<p>Last semester? Accepted into school? Take the C.</p>
