What are W's??? I know optometry schools include community GPAs, but other than that and your university's GPAs, what other scores are there?

A W is a withdraw, which just means you pulled out from the course without fineshing the class or getting a grade. I recieved a W in orgo 2 and retook it again. None of the schools asked me about it.

Since it's not an actual grade, I'm pretty sure they don't incorporate it into the GPA calculation. When I completed the online app. for UCB, there was a section where I filled in my own grades and courses. The system then calculated your pre-req GPA for you. They didn't include the W.

Med schools will look at W's but it will be ok if you have W's when applying to opt school.
