I currently attend The College of New Jersey as a computer science major and I have a 3.381 overall GPA and a 3.233 major GPA, with B’s in my first semester in Discrete Structures and Data Structures but in my second semester, I got an A in Analysis of Algorithms, an A- in Introduction to Data Science and a B- in Databases. However, I got a C- in a non-major class but I retook it over the summer and got an A. I’m currently taking two summer courses which are physics and philosophy, which I am trying to take to get some credits out of the way. However, I completely forgot about the philosophy class all my time is going into physics. I’m thinking of dropping the philosophy class and taking it later, but I will get a W (Withdraw) grade on my transcript. Will this affect my grad school application negatively?
One W should not be an issue for grad schools. However, a series of withdrawals could be cause for concern.
