Hello All,
Any ideas on explaining/talking about a "W" during an interview?

They have heard every excuse in the book, so dont bother trying to make one up. Just explain the real reason you got a W..... you couldnt hack with the class..

I'll just say "That "W" is really indicative of the fact that I'm not a good student." They'll admit me for sure. 👍

if i get an interview...i'm gonna tell them the truth..which is:

there's a grace period for choosing/changing courses, I chose 5 courses (when I only need 4 to graduate). i couldn't decide on which one to take until several weeks into the course (and i had already sent in the AADSAS app). it was then i decided to withdraw an extra course. if it had been a good course for me, i might (would?) have stayed in it.

that doesn't sound bad, does it?
i can't see how that would be... 😳

I had 3/4 "W"'s on my trancripts... 😀 - they were questioned during interviews... I simple answered that the school had a policy of giving early "W"s during semester, which was true. Some schools can give you a "W" if you drop-out the 3rd week.
