I had three deaths in my family this semester and it affected my grades; so, I had to take two withdrawals this semester. I feel like this is not a valid excuse, but it really rattled me mentally and physically, as I am close with all of my relatives. Is this something that will haunt me when I am applying for medical school? I figured that taking a W was better than getting failing grades. My GPA is competitive, otherwise. I'm holding steady at a 3.8.
