Dual enrollment withdraw?

I become a traditional freshman in the fall; however, I am currently a dual enrolled college student.
I had to withdraw from my college algebra class today and I'm feeling quite terrible about it...
I've heard that ALL veterinary schools look at is your required pre-vet curriculum classes as set forth by the graduate institution? I am primarily setting my goals towards UGA CVM and UT CVM.
So, does two B's, one A, and one withdraw look bad?:/ It's just college algebra, so it isn't a part of the pre-vet, but still, does it?...
Thanks.

You've heard wrong. Vet schools have differing ways of evaluating your academic background. There are at least three commonly used different GPA calculations (cumulative, recent credits, pre-reqs). Which ones schools use varies.

Since you have two schools specifically in mind, you should hit up their website for how they evaluate you academically.

Assuming equal credit classes, two Bs and an A are a 3.33 GPA. That's "sufficient" but you would do yourself a favor by doing better.

And no, nobody will really care much about the withdraw if it isn't a pattern that develops over your undergrad career.

And "just college algebra" is exactly what I used to meet the UMN CVM math pre-req. I had taken a few semesters of calc long, long ago, but I took a more recent college algebra course just to refresh myself, and that's what they used for the GPA calculations.

Wimp! I re-took calculus and breezed through. Kids these days don't have it as hard as in my day when we had to integrate until it hurt!

haha... i did psych stats, cause the math stats class was a hard core gpa killer. I learned after I re-took calc but made the mistake of taking the "smart-kid's" calc class... and it dinged my gpa.

Best advice: don't sweat it. You will have much worse to feel terrible about in the future.

Figure out what you can do to do better without killing yourself (study smarter?) and take it one class at a time. You've got a long way to go, and this is definitely not a game changer in any way, shape or fashion!

Don't sweat it! My first semester was a 3.2 and I graduated with almost a 3.8 (and I NEVER once had a 4 point semester; dang A-'s! Lol! I also had a W in college algebra!

Also- don't some schools not really count dual-enrollment. At least my undergrad didn't so I just forgot about them when I applied to vet school
