Withdrawal

Hey there pharmacists and future pharmers,
I need advice. I'd normally go to my school's counseling office but they're currently closed and I have a deadline coming up for my decision.
Stats:
I'm currently an undergrad in my junior year
I have gotten all A's in all of my classes
I'm a bio major
Problem: I just dropped out of my biochem course, thinking it was a 3 credit course, and now my credits dropped to 11 (because it was in fact 4 credits.) and now I'm a part-time student. I AM intending to retake this course in the summer.

How bad does a "W" look on my application to pharm schools?
How does being a part-time student negatively impact me? (Did I just make a bad decision? Should i undo my decision?)
What do you guys think?

Appreciate any and all advice given.

I got a W from withdrawing from a summer course for financial reasons (didn't even attend). I never knew what it meant til now and basically forgot about it. Don't worry about it. o_o

Are you dropping it because you're at risk of getting a C or lower or did you drop it because you were in the B range. If C or lower, then yeah it's good that you dropped it.

Not a big deal. You're grades are good.

Academically, it's not a big deal. If you are receiving financial aid, I'd call to see how your financial aid is impacted.

Right
Thanks for all your input everyone!
I dropped it thinking I might end up with a B or most likely a C
So you guys don't think pharm schools will care much about the W or the part time student aspect?
I know it may affect financial aid (would that be for just this semester of for all future semesters as well?) perhaps speaking with the financial aid office is the best route for that...
