What is the significance of receiving a “W” for a dropped class?
The significance of a “W” can vary depending on your particular circumstances. If you have a single “W” on your transcript, and you have a legitimate and justifiable reason for having withdrawn from a class, then a “W” should not be a serious cause for concern. However, if you have “W’s” in multiple courses or consecutive semesters, or if you have withdrawn from a particular class multiple times, this may be interpreted as a cause for concern by someone reviewing your transcript.
