Will a withdrawal during my freshman year hurt???

So currently I’m in the IB program as a freshman in high school. I wanted to take two AP classes this year, so I took AP HUG and Psych. I thought it would be better to take AP classes earlier in high school than later. Unfortunately, I’ve been really behind in both classes (I take them both online), and my AP HUG teacher has given me a “Withdrawal Pass” which is basically a withdrawal with a passing grade. I had higher than a 90 in that class, and I’m currently freaking out over being withdrawn. They withdrew me because I was behind.

Will this hurt me when I apply for colleges later on? What about Ivy League colleges? I have A’s in all of my classes, and all of the classes I’ve taken in the past.

You got withdrawn from a class that you have an A in? anyways, I don’t know who told you this, but taking a lot of AP’s is generally encouraged towards the later years of high school. A withdrawn won’t necessarily look great, but all you can do now is focus on your classes that are left.
