Hey guys, I am a sophomore attending UH and i am/was deadset on applying for transfer at UT.

This semester I made the poor decision to take a junior level course designed for MCAT prep. Im now around one month in on classes and my grade in that course is, lets just say, a deep F. On top of that, I am majoring in political science and was planning on taking my political science classes alongside premedicine classes. I discovered that i truly do not enjoy biology/premedicine and a path in law or politics is something I would enjoy far more. So im considering dropping the course with a W (not a WP or WF, i dont believe they have those here)

My question is, since I know UT is one of the top public schools in the country, is having a W on my transcript going to make or break my acceptance? I think I have a pretty good GPA (3.8) and my gpa is honestly my baby, I dont want to damage it more than it already is at any costs.

thanks yall!
