<p>Hey guys… quick question if anyone has the answer.</p>
<p>To make a really long story short I dropped my accounting class earlier this semester because I switched majors and I no longer needed it. It was an extremely time consuming class for me and I felt I really didn’t need it, it was also my first “w”</p>
<p>But it also turns out I wont be needing calculus. A class that I just recently failed the midterm in. A “C” in the class is optimistic at best. My question is if I’m able to drop this class or not. My priority is keeping my GPA up (a 4.0) right now for law school where the 2 most important aspects of your application is gpa and LSAT score. </p>
<p>The problem is since I dropped accounting im at 12 units. If I drop calculus that shifts me from 12 to 8 units. And I know that 12 units are needed to be considered a “full time student.” I dont fully understand what this entails or if I retain my full time status if I drop the class. So any insight someone could provide me with would be appreciated.</p>
<p>regarding withdrawals - for example, you may be required to have an extra advisement session regarding the Ws.</p>
<p>Plus, it is worth checking your health insurance to verify that you’re still covered under their policy. If you’re an international student, it’s worth checking your visa as well.</p>
<p>Just be aware that some law schools include W grades in their GPA calculation with the assumption that a W= a C
Perhaps talk to a law school advisor to see how this may affect you down the line.</p>
