Is a single "W" worth explaining in the Comment section (on the January update)?

<p>I withdrew from one course this last fall semester. Should I even bother explaining on the comments area, or do they simply not care if an applicant has only 1 W?</p>

<p>it wouldn’t hurt if u explain it, unless u give a really lame excuse</p>

<p>I am in a similar situation. I got my Intermediate Algebra waived, and now I am taking Elementary Statistics. Is it worth explaining?</p>

<p>I am not explaining my W. I have a high GPA and was taking 3rd semester calc where I was going to get a C or maybe even worse a D. talked to berkeley peeps and they said take a W. I am not going to explain my W as “I was going to get a bad grade and didnt want to hurt my gpa.” Berkeley rep said W’s could be from anything and they dont really worry about them unless you have alot.</p>

<p>Is this correct: A W does not have any numerical affect on our GPA.</p>
