Withdrawal "W" on College Course

Hi,

I am a HS student, and I took 3 courses at a local state university during the 4-week intensive summer intersession. One of them was an upper division course, and it was too demanding (partly due to not having enough fundamentals), and so I had to drop with a W (not affecting GPA). I got As on my other 2 courses, so I still maintain a 4.0 GPA.

I have never dropped a course in my academic history, and I have straight As for my HS and dual enrollment community college course.

My question is: how badly would this “W” on my state university transcript affect my college admissions, for top private colleges?

thanks!
