I've realized that I have to retake a course. Did both grades (W and passing grade) apply towards your GPA when you were applying? Or only the passing grade?
I've honestly never heard of a "W" being factored into a GPA. What point value is it worth in GPA calculations? You'll have to find that out from the school you took the course at if that's the case. Typically a "W" doesn't count for or against you in GPA calculations, but it DOES show up on your transcript. I have a few on mine. Be prepared to explain to a grad school admission panel why you withdrew. I interviewed at two nurse anesthesia programs and was accepted to both--neither of them asked about mine. There were more compelling things about my application to discuss.
