Question: should i drop the class with "W"? I want to drop my math class, because its a 4 unit class and i think i might get an B.  though i know many ppl would say it is good enough, but it would still lower my GPA (i have low gpa right now). also because if i major in nursing i won't need this class anyways.  but i would have a withdraw (W) show on my transcript if i drop it . this is my 2nd year and first W.   i don't know if i should drop it? will it look bad later on?

Answer: I just dropped a class in order to avoid a B... If you think you can take a higher level math class and get an A later on, then do NOT drop the class--graduate schools (even medical schools) will look at the later grades for higher level courses.  If you've had it with math and won't be taking any additional math classes, then go ahead and drop it... but you may be wasting your money if you can't get a refund this late in the semester.
