I realize I'm beating a dead horse here, but hear me out.
It used to be virtually impossible to get a W at my school due to such a late drop date. However, I will be taking a W in a course that I could pull off a B/B- in. I absolutely learned nothing and this professor was terrible (first time teaching). I have genuine interest in the course and my Physics course next quarter will even help me in it.
That being said, I will have 1 W on my record. Not a big deal, except I could be one of the only people applying from my school with a W and I'm sure adcoms will know that since my school has a lot of premeds.
And I do not have a good record. This year + my gap year is my chance to turn things around. I currently have an A- or A in all my classes except this one.
Is it okay or should I still rethink my decision?
I still haven't gotten my grade from the midterm I bombed (3 weeks later). So not sure exactly where I stand. All I know is I did not learn much and that infuriates me more than a bad exam grade.
