Questions about whether to drop Topology

[Zoey0512]

Hello guys, I am a junior in math department of Top2 University in China. I'm pursuing for a phd in stat next year.

I take Topology this semester but I have taken a bit too many courses, so I'm wondering whether it will be harmful to drop it. In our school if I drop it now there will be a 'W' marking the dropping on my report card.

I did not bad in mid-term exam, so the main concern is that I don't have so much time for it, since I think I should devote more into research.

I really need some suggestions on whether it will have some negative influence. Thanks a lot!

Especially negative influence for the 'W' mark...

I think it won't be a big deal if you explain it in your personal statement.
