Having one or two is no big deal

I have a LOT of Ws. Battled with health issues a lot while enrolled.

No big deal if it's only a couple. If there are a lot it looks bad. But a few

I think one or two Ws isn't a real problem. They don't affect GPA if you

I logged a few Ws at BYU, good grades and got into a top ranked graduate program
