How are W’s looked upon when received at the start of my undergraduate career?

I’m currently a senior in college, however, before I started my premed track after transferring from community college, I have a total of 3 W’s. I received one each semester from freshman year to beginning of sophomore year. I dropped the first course because I was adjusting my course load, and decided that, that specific course load that semester was too much. I dropped the last two and received W’s because I realized too late that the courses didn’t contribute to my credits to transfer over to my university. I haven’t had a single W since then, and I have a pretty competitive GPA ~ 3.82. Would this significantly affect my chances for the top schools?
 
Not gonna be a problem. The W's were so early on and you have a great GPA.
 
many people have gotten in with more W's, some much later in their college career and a lower GPA

This is not a problem
