Would dropping a class and never retaking it lower your chances?

<p>Say I take this history class and I dropped it, but I never retook it (because I didn't like that class and took an alternative) would that lower my chances when applying to a university?</p>

<p>Thanks!</p>

<p>Will colleges KNOW that you dropped it? For my high school, if you dropped it within a certain number of weeks, it did not show up on the transcript. However, if it was a “Withdrawal” that’s on your transcript, colleges may wonder if you were failing that class.</p>
