Does 6 Ws really hurt me?

^I have 7W’s, yes 7 with a 3.05GPA and I got into most of my choices for EE (minus sdsu, cause idgaf) for CSU’s/UC’s. I asked an admin for UCI/UCR/UCLA and they straight up told me that they pretty much don’t care about W’s but if you have a ton (refer to the guy who had 23W’s) then you can just explain it in your personal statements. They just care about your major pre-reqs.

CSU’s don’t even care, with the exception of SLO (but they weigh EC significantly more so it balances out if you have EC).

W’s come into consideration when you’re applying for grad school.

tl;dr W’s aren’t that bad, raise your GPA if you want to go to the higher UC’s but you’re still fine for CSU’s/UCR/M and you’re ok for UCI (certain majors). Don’t expect UCB/LA since… well that’s obvious.
