    Remediated a Medical Procedures course. It's on my MSPE. How will this impact my chances?

    Back in M1, I was sick and missed a medical procedures class (one of those ones where they teach you to suture, intubate, start an IV, etc.) I failed to get a doc’s note in time, because I was quite sick, so I had to remediate the course, which I did so successfully. Literally just showed up...

It is likely going to miss the Oct 1 release date...

    Dean's letter or MSPE won't be provided by medical school
