Another W... and Harvard 2+2

<p>I already have two 'W’s on my transcript and I could have taken any elective class in the world but decided to take one that bases tests for most of the grade…</p>

<p>So after failing the last test I have a C in the class and only the final (25% of grade) left to go</p>

<p>A C would tremendously hurt for grad school, even if it is in an elective right? If I have THREE Ws on my transcript, does it hurt my chances even more? My GPA is 3.8 right now.</p>

<p>Also, if anyone knows about Harvard 2+2, how do they look at it?</p>

<p>Grad schools don’t generally see grades from senior fall – unless you take a year or two off after graduation or unless you finish the semester before you send in the application. </p>

<p>Your transcript probably shows the courses in which you are currently enrolled, but it can’t show grades since they aren’t in yet. I suggest that you submit those applications ASAP :slight_smile: .</p>

<p>Is it clear that the OP is a senior?</p>

<p>I’m a junior - hence the Harvard 2+2 question… I really need to make a decision before friday as it is the drop deadline</p>

<p>I cant believe an elective is the class I have to worry about getting a C in the most … amongst all my engineering classes.</p>

<p>A single C on a 3.8 is NOT going to hurt you.</p>

<p>^^ Probably true, considering it’s an elective. If it’s not in your major it shouldn’t be a big deal.</p>

<p>

All my programs ask that senior Fall grades be submitted once they are available.</p>

<p>^^ That’s interesting, Kryptonsa. I know that all ask for final transcripts to make sure that the degree was awarded, but I didn’t know that many ask for senior fall grades as well. Many schools haven’t given fall semester grades by the time interviews are requested.</p>

<p>But it doesn’t matter anyway since I read too much into the OP’s dilemma. He’s a junior.</p>

<p>And regarding 2+2, you should look at the business school forum. I don’t think anyone here has any/much experience with MBA programs.</p>
