Hi guys, i graduated from a 4yr after transferring from a cc. I did really well at the cc and bad at the 4 yr, and my overall gpa is 3.15 with no sciences since i went for BA anthropology.

After undergrad I decided to do pre-dent. So my first class now (AT CC) is physics 2a (non major physics) and I messed up on the first exam (F), so now my realistic final class is looking to be B-/B with hard work.

Tonight is the last day to take a W for the class.

What to do?

Work hard and keep the B. B's aren't the end of the world in the application process. I made a C in physics and it hasn't even been mentioned in any of my interviews.

A W counts as an F in terms of aadsas GPA calculation. Furthermore, if you're serious about dent, then you should take school more seriously. To continue your trend of poor grades in post-bacc (and at a community college no less) will be looked upon very poorly by d-schools. If you want to do dent, you need to get A's from here on out ESPECIALLY at cc.

A W counts as an F in your gpa calculation for aadsas? Never heard/read that before.

It's not calculated as an F.

But i think getting a B looks alot better to adcoms than seeing a W on an application.

You're right - the WF is the F, not the W, but probably unacceptable as a post-bacc grade.
