Currently this junior year I feel like I have so much going on. I’m currently taking 4 AP classes and I was wondering if it is a good idea to withdraw from a class? I’m not sure if it’s too late or not or whether I will be permitted to do so, but I was wondering whether or not a “W” on a transcript is better than a B or a potential C? This will be my first non A letter grade. Will this affect me heavily? I want to know your opinions before making my decision.
No, withdrawals should be avoided unless you are getting a failing grade or feel you might get a failing grade. One C or especially one B will not affect you.
Check if your school uses “W” - not all do. My son dropped a class last year, and it was just removed from his transcript completely.
Ask if a W will factor at all into your GPA.
And consider how bad you think your grades might be if you keep all four classes, and if it would impact your ability to graduate next year.
I’m only considering withdrawing from one class that I may have a B/C by the end of the semester. My school uses “W” and it doesn’t calculate into the GPA.
