Withdrawals on transcript-red flag?
I withdrew from a 3-credit class this semester because the timing of the class conflicted with my hours for a for-credit externship. Will this be a problem for clerkship applications?

Re: Withdrawals on transcript-red flag?
This is a tough question to answer, because the answer is going to be "it depends". Some judges will care enough to just not even bother with the application because they have 250 others without a W on the transcript. Others probably wouldn't even think twice about it. If you're shooting for Art III and you really think you have some good, short explanation, maybe put it in the grade sheet on OSCAR. Otherwise, why worry about it if you already withdrew? If I told you yes, would that change literally anything?
