Ws on transcript

I was wondering if having three Ws on a transcript is harmful. The three courses I dropped was an English exam that was required for my institution to graduate. I signed up for it but decided to take it at another time due to an inconvenient testing day. The next course was a fine art course that was required in my university's core (I went to a liberal arts school). I dropped it because it was online and not structured well, so I decided I would take it later on. The third course was a lower level science course that I took as an elective/GPA booster. The information was so redundant and dumbed-down honestly and it wasn't worth my time.
I had As in the two academic courses that I was taking at the time I dropped. My GPA is solid as well, so I was just wondering if this would raise any concern to admissions.

No, this won't be a problem. But if you're going to drop courses for reasons like these, try to figure that out before the add/drop deadline. 😉

.... The reason for the drops is poor imo. 1 or 2 drop, they would disregard but 3 might be pushing it. Dropping because of inconvenient testing time, not interested in the class, and online. You need to be able to handle some situations out of your control sometimes and push through. You can't change the past.. so from here on out... no more drops! For application purposes, I wouldn't bring this up.. I'm hoping they skim over and don't notice 3 W's which would be best. If they do, just tell them exactly what you told us and hopefully they disregard it.
