<p>I'm currently taking 16 units at a CCC, in the TAP for UCLA, and a biochem major. I have several W's (6) on my transcript but I have retaken 4 of the classes with all A's and plan on retaking the other 2 classes in the spring. If W's are "made up" (as in got a W in a class but retook it), does that in a way "void" the previous W? Does this look better on a transcript than if I hadn't retaken them? Or are the W's invisible/overlooked anyways? </p>
<p>Also, I'm currently talking OChemII but I really don't want a B/C in the class and as of now, an A seems unattainable. Is it better to drop and retake it in the winter (when I am absolutely certain I can get an A!!) or tough it out and settle? Will receiving a W during the semester I'm applying for transfer significantly effect my chances? I really miss sleep. </p>
<p>I hate W's.</p>
<p>Oh but btw, is biochem at UCLA considered an extremely competitive major for transfer students? and is it true that there are many more men than women in biochem? I know someone who got into biochem@UCLA with a 3.2, TAP certified, but I'm not sure if UCLA admissions is raising the bar this year because of the current economic crisis. I'm going to be TAP certified but I don't know how much that helps with admission.</p>
