<p>I'm a freshman and I withdrew from a class today because the teacher insulted me, my education, and my intelligence. He's the most condescending person I've ever met. I'm not failing, but I just can't look the man in the eyes anymore.</p>
<p>Anyways, I was wondering how a withdrawal from a liberal arts non-math/non-science course would affect my transcript for grad school in a science/engineering field.</p>
<p>Bump please - I’d like to know as well.</p>
<p>It’s going to look pretty bad. It shows you were either too scared of the class or the grade you were receiving.</p>
<p>It’s understandable if you have a solid reason, but it doesn’t seem like you do. The teacher said something and you bailed on the class. You should have dealt with it more maturely.</p>
<p>Try to reinstate into the class or ask your counselor if there will be a W on your transcript. If he says yes, ask him what you can do to remove it.</p>
<p>I’m not going to reinstate into the class.</p>
<p>You don’t know the context of what happened, what he did, what he said.</p>
<p>People withdraw from classes all the time for all sorts of reasons. Don’t worry about it.</p>
<p>Thanks for putting a little bit more at ease, MD Mom.</p>
<p>It’s just I don’t want grad schools to think it was because I was failing.</p>
<p>There are so many reasons people drop classes. Sometimes drops don’t show depending on your school’s policy. Schools also may limit how many withdrawals you can have, so you may want to check that.</p>
<p>IMO grad schools will not go over your transcript looking at every class you took.</p>
<p>My school has a limit. It’s basically 2 drops every two years, and I’m fine with that.</p>
<p>Thanks for taking time to answer and put me at ease.</p>
