Hi All, I am currently a student at the university of Michigan as an undergraduate BCN (Biopsych Cognitition and neuro ) student. I am doing well grade-wise (3.75 GPA) and plan on taking the GRE this summer. My only hiccup is a withdrawl on my transcript from my intro coding course, which I absolutely hated and was sucking up time from my required courses. I was planning on minoring in computer science, but later changed as I realized I hated it here and it was making me absolutely miserable. I do, however, want to learn to code somewhere. I have been enjoying code academy and looking up coursera courses to learn python. What are your opinions on this? I do not need to learn to code for my major, but its a useful skill. Will the Withdrawl affect my graduate admissions in a non-required field if i learn to code off-campus and online? Thank you!
The W will not have much impact on your graduate application. As for coding, you don’t really need courses to learn.
