Do W's from community college affect transfer to universities?

I've had to withdraw from a couple of courses at my community college, resulting in W's on my transcript. Will this impact my application or credit transfer to a university?

Yes, W's on your transcript can potentially impact your transfer application to a university. Many admissions offices will pay attention to your course withdrawals, and may view multiple W's as a sign of a lack of persistence or academic difficulty. However, they will also take into account the context surrounding these withdrawals. If there were circumstances beyond your control that led to these withdrawals, be sure to explain this in your application.

Regarding course credits, whether W's impact transferability can largely depend on the specific policies of the university you are applying to. Some universities may not accept credits for a course with a W grade, as it typically signifies that the course was not completed. Always check with the university admissions or registrar's office for the most accurate information.

Remember that all of these factors are just one part of your overall application. Even if you have a few W's, your total GPA, personal statement, recommendations, and other elements of your application will also play a significant role.
