How much will one W impact my chances at a top law school?

I've worked tireless days (only one night so far) to maintain my 4.0 GPA. Until now, everything was working out. However, at the beginning of the semester, I didn't anticipate the workload I would have at the end of the semester--especially in one elective history class that is half fascinating and half tedious. It appears that if I don't withdraw, I can still pull off a decent B, but it would also drag down my other classes to Bs as well. I'm confident that if I take the W I will be able to maintain the 4.0.

I know LSAT and GPA matter most, but I'd like to get into an ivy or ivy-level law school, like Columbia or NYU. (I'd like to stay in New York and live at home. I can name you the entire British cabinet, but I don't how to use the washing machine). Is one W in freshman year bad? Next semester I will make sure to read through every syllabus carefully and make sure that I create realistic schedules.

Thanks in advance
