kkk1111 Posted December 14, 2017 Share Posted December 14, 2017 Hi, I'm currently a junior in college, and I was wondering how a withdrawal grade on Finance would look on my transcript, assuming that I retake Finance in the future. This course is technically under the business school, not under the economics department. If i don't withdraw, I think I can get a B but I don' think an A is a possibility. Please help. Thank you.

tm_member Posted December 14, 2017 Share Posted December 14, 2017 Neither matters, but a withdrawal is probably worse than a B. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zubrus Posted December 14, 2017 Share Posted December 14, 2017 I would easily take a B over a W in an undergrad class. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kkk1111 Posted December 14, 2017 Author Share Posted December 14, 2017 If I get an A in financial economics course or mathematical finance (one is in the econ department, one is in the math department), will that compensate for a B in this class?

The class simply doesn't matter for econ admissions. Grades in intermediate micro (and macro to some extent) and grades in key math classes (Calc I, II, III, Linear Algebra, and Real Analysis) are all that matter. If you do poorly in one of them, an advanced class might helo. However, give it is a finance class do not take another class to "compensate." Instead, get some research experience and/or read some Smith, Friedman, Keynes, and Hayek. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
