<p>I don’t think withdrawing will hurt him at all. Maybe it would if he were trying to get into Kelley honors. But his gpa is borderline for qualifying to apply to Kelley Honors, as you need a 3.7 for that. My son had one “W” and lots of Ivy Tech and two IUPUI classes and he still got interviews with all the Big Four accounting firms and regional firms he was interested as an accounting and finance major. The W won’t count against his IU gpa, but a C would hurt it a little if he stays in A100. An A in A100 at IUPUI would raise his IUB/Kelley gpa. And there is the chance that if your son got a C- this semester at IUB. If that happens, his gpa will take a hit. Worse, a C- would necessitate him taking the class all over again (I think you still need a solid C for the course to count; hard to tell from the bulletin), and he would have to go to summer school anyway in order to be on pace to complete A100, A201, and A202 in time to take Icore the first semester of his junior year. It really isn’t a good Idea to take it later than that semester, as so many Kelley 300-400 level classes needed to complete most all majors have Icore as a prerequisite. So, you want give yourself three semesters to complete all your upper-level classes rather than only two.</p>
