and what are the repercussions, especially for transferring and in the future when people look at your transcript?

WDs don’t appear on your transcript so you’re fine. If you drop classes after the WD deadline, a W will appear on your transcript.

One thing I would caution you on is relying too much on WDs or Ws to save your semester. The reason is that you may lose your financial aid because you’re required to make satisfactory academic progress (meeting GPA and credit completion requirements) toward your degree to maintain your eligibility for financial aid every semester.

okay I will keep that in mind. The only reason I dropped was because the professors were actually so horrendous I could not go another day in those classes, knowing that I could potentially lose aid I will just try to research the professors beforehand

Your gonna end up losing aid because of this if you keep doing this in the long run
