ok so i am in southern california and right now it is almost IMPOSSIBLE to get into an ADN program unless you have like a 4.0 right?
well some schools also look at retaking classes/withdrawals and they will negatively affect you.
well see i have a withdrawal but it was more of a mistake then a withdrawal
heres the story:
i had taken the first class of a bio major biology series at JC then i transferred to 4-yr university and have to finish the biology series (2 more classes because i was a bio major at a quarter system college) well they told me that i had to take the first of the biology series, well i thought i already started the first of the series at the JC, but maybe it transferred differently. So i started class at the university when i look at my transfer progress report and it says i repeated the first class of the biology series.
i was like wow i have been in class (i have already taken, no wonder it was boring and very familiar lol) for 2 weeks past the add/drop period so i knew i would have to take a W.
so now i am worried because i don't want it to reflect negatively to the NS's i want to apply for
anyone have advice or experience in this (or in applying to a so cal ADN schools
much appreciated!!
We are talking about "W"s in prereq's, right? I live in the Bay Area and I don't know of any school that doesn't look at withdraws in the prereq's.
I live in the bay area as well and I haven't seen many schools deduct points b/c of withdrawals in pre-req courses. they will take away points if you repeat a pre-req class where you previously had a D/or a F.
i live in the bay area too, i wanted to drop my anatomy class as i had a c in the class, the counselor told me i was better off with a C rather than a W on my transcript.
Really? b/c I know a lot of people who would rather take the W and repeat a course instead of taking a C---that C would mess up your GPA.
