Academic Withdrawal I had previously been placed on academic dismissal from a graduate program, but had gotten permission to withdraw from the university, and now I have a grade of "W" on my transcript (where i had hoped I could just drop the class and not have it appear on my record).
How would this look to other universities, in case I decide to apply to different programs at a future date?

A pattern of withdrawals looks bad, one withdrawn class on your record would generally not be a big deal. If it was a class that was central to your studies it may raise some eyebrows, but generally a single W isn't a big deal.
You are more likely to face questions about why you stopped your studies, then why you ended up with a single W. The W is just a part of that bigger question they will probably have for you. ]
