Hi there I was hoping for some advice regarding late withdrawals.? I am in my 4 the year and have a tough year due to many factors. I was forced to
\nlate withdraw 2 courses last semester and now I am at the risk of getting a. Low mark in an elective course which will bring down a GPA I am trying to build.I will be applying for withdrawal without penalty but am not sure if that will be granted. I will be coming back an extra semester and then plan on applying to post grad so I’m wondering how bad will a third LWD look on my transcript! Is it worth it? Such a hard decision! Any advice would be greatly appreciated!<\/p>\n

Will a third LWD look bad on your transcript for grad school? Okay. Well. See, my opinion is that any LWD would look back on your transcript for grad school. Yeah, sometimes there are some inescapable circumstances that get in the way of, you know, doing well, but the fact that it’s happened multiple times reflects quite poorly on things like your work ethic and deductive reasoning<\/a>. If you knew you were doing poorly in a course — especially an elective — you could have made it CR\/NCR<\/a> for example. So if you do apply to grad schools, you should definitely include a little tidbit explaining all the LWDs of this year.<\/p>\n But since you’re coming back for another semester, there’s no harm in appealing to your registrar for a LWD and taking something else. \ud83d\ude42 It would probably be the better option. And again, since it’s just an elective, you can probably just make it a CR\/NCR and avoid hurting your CGPA at all.<\/p>\n Cheers!<\/p>\n aska<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Hi there I was hoping for some advice regarding late withdrawals.?
