You have to do what’s best for you. If you are genuinely failing Calc 2, then a W is better than a F. A F will drag down your GPA.

But, yes, a W looks bad–even it’s for a non-required class. And worse, a pattern of withdrawals on your academic record will make adcomms question your judgment, you academic ability and your persistence in the difficulty/adversity.
