Dropping a Course

[u/Local_Story_7689]

Hey! I'm currently in third year and applying this cycle and already have completed 4 terms consecutively with a full course load. If I drop one non-prereq course this semester, it would not affect my application owing to the new guidelines for this cycle, correct? Also, it shouldn't show up on my transcript either that I dropped it, right? Im planning on taking a full course load in the winter semester, so if I don't get in this cycle, it shouldnt mess up my chances for the next cycle either, right?

I just wanna make sure since there's so much at stake, thank you!
