Will W's on transcript hurt me for law school? Forum

[b33eazy]

Hey, i'm a senior at my university with a 3.58.. I so far have only 1 W on my transcript. This is my last semester and i'm taking 20 credit hours and it seems like too much.. Would it look bad if i get my 2nd w in my last semester? Would it hurt my chances of getting into Harvard, having two W's and with one being my last semester?

if that doesn't prevent you from getting into H, a 3.58 will

I was being hypothetical when i mentioned Harvard, but my question is would i be hindered by having two W's with one of them being my last
semester. My dream school is actually Columbia Law School.. And i will have the gpa and lsat i need.when i apply.

No one cares about a W.

But URMs get in with GPA similar to that at Harvard....

Yeah, I know sometimes lower. But I did not want to get into a debate about that.

I had a whole semester full of Ws that didn't hurt me at all. If your school does not count Ws punitively, neither will LSAC.

You should be fine.

I thought 2 W's would hinder my transcript, but I guess not.. Thanks!
