Thanks everyone for replying. It has been a relief now. I plan to drop a class in order to finish all of my classes a week before finals while maintaining good grades so I could intern in DC! And congrats to those who have been accepted to great public policy schools with a W.

Hi all, I have a serious dilemma. Does one W on a transcript hurt my chances when applying for a master in public policy? I have a good cum. GPA and work experiences. However, does one W hurt when applying to places such as Georgetown and Brown--that's where I would like to apply. I would like to apply to places that has strengths in domestic health policy. I plan to make a career in DC. Cum GPA: 3.5 - Political Science major Work experience: -1 year of Epidemiological research on burn victims in the US and HK at medical institutions in the US and HK -2 years of scientific / medical research at the Department of Medicine and Department of Plant Pathology within my school -1 quarter (10 weeks) as legislative intern for a State Representative -1 quarter (10 weeks) as congressional intern / assistant to regional representative with a U.S. Senator who is a leader in healthcare and financial reform -1 quarter (10 weeks) as congressional intern with House Majority Whip in DC O, I have done all of this by the end of my junior year of college. I'm still a baby or no0b.... Thank you very, very much! Mr. Cheeseman
