Hi guys,
I have 2 Ws and also around 20 credits from study abroad(therefore, P/F grades). Will those affect my chance of getting to T14 or even T6 schools? My overall GPA now is 3.93 and I have one more semester to do.

Re: the impacts of Ws and study abroad on application
Agreed this won't affect your admissions chances.
But one note on study abroad credits: If you received a P/F grade through your undergrad but also received a letter grade through a separate U.S. accrediting institution, then you'll likely need to submit the separate transcript, which will count. Not sure if this is how your studies were set up, but it's a common enough arrangement that it's worth knowing about before LSAC tells you you're missing a transcript from some institution you don't think you actually attended.

I had about 10 W's over 4 years (i was on full scholarship, so my thought process was might as well sign up for extra classes and then just drop the ones that are not worth it after a few weeks). I also had two semesters of P/F from study abroad. no addendum and got multiple T6 offers including a few of HYS (okay, not Y).

If I only had one spring semester abroad and a summer abroad, do I still need to submit those abroad course grades? People are saying that I only need to submit the grades if the abroad program is longer than 1 yearcavalier1138 wrote: ↑Mon Jun 21, 2021 10:35 amAgreed this won't affect your admissions chances.

Check with LSAC on the specifics, but I definitely had to submit a transcript from a single-semester program that was accredited through a different school than my degree-granting institution.erzezhifu wrote: ↑Tue Jun 22, 2021 5:51 amIf I only had one spring semester abroad and a summer abroad, do I still need to submit those abroad course grades?
