Withdrawing from a class after being accepted?

[510braves]

If I got accepted into a school that does not require cell biology as a pre-requisite, can I withdraw from the class with a W and it not affect getting in?

I don't see why not. The safe answer is, as always, to call or email the school you were accepted to and double check.

Happened to me at Penn with bio 2 - they were very kind and told me to go ahead and save myself the money, as I had other upper-level biology course credit. Again, your mileage may vary, and I'd contact the school to be on the safe side.

Most schools would probably be fine with it as long as it's not a pre-req. But I would call just in case

I just dropped my Organic Chemistry class today after calling WSU the other day and making sure it was OK! Such a great feeling!

That’s comforting! I’m planning on applying to WSU next cycle, as I’m an Idaho resident. But I’ll also be applying to Colorado state and Midwestern which require O-chem 2. If I get in to WSU I’d rather not

That was exactly my logic. I was taking the full series (again, to improve previous grades and open the door to more schools) just in case. Sionara, ochem!
