I am applying to transfer for Fall 2020 to USC, Occidental, UCLA, and a few other schools in the area, with an associate’s degree from Santa Monica College, with 2 Ws from my first semester at the college because of a serious illness (I have documentation.)
However, from 2014-2018 I attended a different city college in Northern California, taking a few classes and dropping them and receiving Ws to the effect of 40 Units attempted, 19 units completed (4.0) [The last semester at that school I took 12 units and completed them all] I didn’t realize it would matter to withdraw from classes.
I have been advised to simply not include this transcript in my applications but I know you are supposed to. Will the torrents of Withdrawals affect my admittance chances?
