withdraw

I was thankfully accepted into a T10 med school today earlier this week, but I had a question about a W I received last semester. Essentially long story short, I had to withdraw from my senior thesis class that was an elective, not prereq. I wrote on my 1° application about my thesis writing...

I will most likely have to drop a course (missed a midterm, completely my fault). It isn't natural sciences related, and I have a perfect 4.0 otherwise. Idk if this means much but I am also in the middle of MCAT prep and am projected to do pretty decent (~515). Is this a red flag? Does a W look...

Hi all. I know at the end of the day I'm the only one who can make this decision, but I just really need to talk it through and get some outside perspective. So here's my situation. I'm a non-trad student, background in public health, really interested in working as a zoonosis control vet or...

I’m a second year veterinary student. I have always wanted to be a vet. Specifically, my dream was to become a “farm vet” and own my own practice. Getting emergency calls, working all the time, etc used to excite me! However, right when this year started I really started to think about my goals...

Hi, I've made a huge mistake. On the Institutional Action question I answered "No," with honest intentions. However, in 2014 while in High School I took two courses at my Community College and failed them. These courses are on my transcript, and I did not try to hide them, but I honestly didn't...

Hi! This is my first post so I am not sure if I am doing this correctly lol but I wanted some advice. I just found out that I failed my second calc 1 exam after a week and a half of studying. I am going to drop the class because there is no way that I will be able to pass with a C. Before I get...

Hi! I am a junior premed majoring in Public Health and minoring in Chemistry (SEC School) I currently have a 3.98 GPA and have finished all my premed prerequisites, making As in all prerequisites with the exception of a B+ in gen chem 1. I am currently in research (grant proposal submitted!)...

I want to withdraw from a 1 credit RA training class. The job doesn't align with my schedule anymore and the class is a surprisingly big time commitment. Unfortunately yesterday was the deadline for erasing the course from my transcript completely. Would it be detrimental in any way to take a W...

How will this look? Do I completely reject the idea of going to med school? I have 3 withdrawals, after add/drop. 2 of them are medical withdrawals, and 1 is a regular withdrawal. I have had one in Summer of Freshman year, one in Summer of Sophmore year, and 1 in Spring of Junior year.

I recently withdrew my acceptance from USUHS after choosing to attend a civilian USMD program instead. I just couldn't overlook the ≥7 year obligation plus the many cons of milmed discussed on these boards: lack of control over my career and family life, limited job opportunities for my SO...

I am taking a LOA between years 1 and 2 and planning to conduct research during the year, however it is not considered an official research year by my school. During my LOA, I will not have an official enrolled student status, until I return back in August 2022 to start 2nd yr. My question is -...

I am a senior majoring in Biomedical Sciences with an Engineering minor. I was born in the Us but grew up overseas so english is not my first language. I have a CGpa of 3.8, SGpa of 3.87 and Mcat score 510. Diring my first semester I was advised to take a writing class which was not required to...

Hi guys! I'm currently a sophomore taking 16 credits. I'm doing my classes online this semester and have been struggling a bit with keeping up. My ochem class is completely online; we don't have lectures and my professor rarely uploads lecture videos to canvas so we literally have to teach...

Hi guys! I am currently a freshman on the pre-med track. I took general bio 1 and general chem 1 spring semester. I took the "pass" option instead of keeping my original grade of "C's". I am currently retaking general chemistry 1 again but I am not doing the best. I am considering withdrawing...

I plan to apply for MD PhD programs my senior year (taking a Gap year). My two top schools are Emory and Stanford. I currently have a 4.0 GPA and I’m a junior. I’ve been doing research since the summer of freshman year, each semester. I also got into Mayo Clinic’s summer fellowship for this...

I know that if I have been offered an interview at another institution but have accepted a seat at another school, that I am supposed to get in touch with the school and withdraw my application ( which I have done). I was wondering what the etiquette was for schools who haven't sent me an...

Ok so I did relatively well first quarter of ochem (A), but this quarter, my midterm score is reaching around a C when curved (barely 50th percentile.) NMR/IR just doesn't make sense to me at times, with all that coupling/peaks confusing the **** out of me. Mechanisms and rearrangements such as...

Hi all, welcome to my first thread/post. I'm currently applying, but due to some family/life situations I had going on in the summer, my apps went out Sep-Oct. I've been lucky to get one II from a reach, but I was wondering, would it be best to withdraw from the other schools I haven't heard...

Hi! Math has always been a bit challenging for me and I've been doing well until recently. I dropped my Pre-Calculus 2 class because I could tell I was failing and I had no chance to raise my grade since the class is only 3 months long. As a consequence of that I need to drop the Calculus I had...

Hi all, here is my story. I graduated from undergrad 2 years ago with a 3.59 overall and 3.29 BCPM. Have great clinical experience and decent volunteer experience. Worked in a microbio research lab for a gap year and attended an SMP program the year after that to solidify my chances and possibly...

CAN I RE-SUBMIT THIS CYCLE IF I WITHDRAW BEFORE VERIFICATION? this is probably the most pathetic thing you will read. I submitted my aacomas last week. I now downloaded the application as pdf to read through it and found 6 mf typos in my activities sections like a random "i" or period or wrong...

I already reviewed and finalized, but then realized I did have a W freshman year and took the same class second semester BUT I didn't mark that down as a retake. Is that considered a retake? Is that something I can request to edit because it's not letting me open that section again!!! Any help...

Hey guys, Basically what title says. Had time poor management and was over-involved in undergrad but learned from mistakes. Graduate program at Johns Hopkins was 1 year post-bacc, 40 credits in sciences. Earned a MS Biotech through it. AACOMAS verified stats: undergrad cGPA/sGPA...

Hi all. Recent college grad. Over the course of college I've taken 4Ws, two sophomore year and two senior year. All were in non-pre med courses except one in orgo 1, which I took because I was dealing with personal issues at the time and needed to do what was best for my mental health. Since...

Hello everyone, I’ve been accepted into 1 school & waitlisted in the other. Do I need to withdraw from the waitlisted school by April 30th? On another note, would it be wise to add waitlisted school on fafsa or wait until there’s acceptance in hand?

I've been accepted to 1 MD school, waitlisted in another. Approx. 10 schools have been silent. Do I need to send an email to formally withdraw from all of these silent schools?

hi everyone, I just got a pretty devestating grade back - I’m not doing so well in ochem 2 this semester. I got a 68 and 44 on the exams so far. It seems like no matter how hard I study, a lot of the questions on the exam are so foreign to me. That fact that I’m taking several other hard...

Just took the 2nd midterm exam and I think I did really poorly. I got a C in Orgo 1 as well, (being lazy, partying, trying to cram etc.), but I wanted to know if taking the W is better than having 2 C's. (No other C's in any other classes). Currently in the class I can only miss 170 more...

Hi there, I was hoping for some help making a decision. So sorry for the long post. So, I was a first semester sophomore in college after a freshman year of getting a 4.0. I was taking organic chemistry 1, and then had to leave quite quickly about 2 weeks before finals because of a medical...

I know there are so many threads like this out there, but I haven't been able to find some usable advice for my current circumstances... so I need some SDN help! I'm currently a second-semester sophomore pursuing a B.S. in Biochemistry degree, and here is my schedule: Introductory Biology...

I've been reading through endless threads on this topic, but would love some advice on my particular situation. Thanks in advance. Situation: I am currently in Calculus 2 and slowly falling behind. We have daily quizzes that I underperform on, and have taken one exam of four that I received a...

Hi there:) In the beginning of my fall semester (sophmore year) my job moved away. I was supporting myself fully (in a CC working 30 hours a week, paying my own rent/car/bills ect). I was able to live on (the little bit) of savings that I had but I had to take another job soon. My family...

Hello everyone, New here, I'm currently stuck in a very stressful situation that may affect my chances of getting in Med School/PT School. I'm currently taking Anatomy at my local CC and my current grade is a mid C(76-77) that maybe could go up. The last day to drop the class with a W is...

I have a 3.8 gpa and I haven't gotten my mcat score back yet but I scored 512 plus on all my practice exams. I did really bad first semester sophomore year where I got a BC (basically a c+ since the a BC is 2.5) in organic chem and got B's in a couple of other classes. I got really scared since...

Hi all. So I'm a current junior taking Physics I as per the traditional route. We had our first exam and while I didn't score much below the average score, I didn't do great either. In fact, I was a few points off from being in what the professor claimed would be an area of concern. The...

I have been going through many many forums and taking advice from those who have been in similar situations as myself. One piece of advice that I am learning is very very true in pre med is how a professor can really make or break your chance of success. My situation is this: I have taken 3...
