Default Got my First W- big deal?

SDN Members don't see this ad. (About Ads)
I am post bac-in my 2nd of 2nd semester course load. I got a W in one out of my 4 classes.

IS IT a big deal as long as i pull A's and work on solidifying the rest of my application? I mean i was told that in the initial processes, they don't even look that closely to your transcript..

help / input appreciated.

AND yes I'm just Doing my best for the last 3 classes..

One W should not be an issue.

It might be a red flag if you've withdrawn from 8 classes in your post-secondary years. One won't kill you though.

I think it starts to become a red flag if you W 2 more more pre-req classes or 4-6 regular classes.

Exactly 1 W is not even worth thinking about let alone posting an entire thread.
