Medical Are these red flags on my application?

Hi- I'd like to apologize in advance if this sounds neurotic, but I've talked to my school's preprofessional advising, and they didn't really have an answer, so I'm coming here and I'd really appreciate your honest opinion. I feel as though I have a few major red flags on my application that have ruined my chances at medical school.

1) My freshman spring semester I was hospitalized 8 times and so I withdrew from a calc class and then also pass failed a writing class. As a result, I only have 26 total credits from freshman year and 23 graded ones.
2) My sophomore fall semester I pass failed calculus II because it is not a pre req and not required for my major (I just took it bc my school teaches calc based physics so I thought it would be good to have an understanding for physics 2). However, my school also made mandatory pass fail for all of spring 2020 due to COVID, so I'm concerned that the two pass fails from calc 2 and the writing class coupled with an entire semester of mandatory P/F will hurt me even though I have multiple other math and writing courses that I've performed well in
3) I will still be graduating on time with an average of 15/16 credits a semester (T10 undergrad) but some of my semesters are very light (12 credits) while some are very heavy (~17), but I also have extensive extra curricular time commitments.

I would really appreciate honest insight on how big these red flags are, and how to go about fixing them? Thanks so much in advance 🙂

None of these are red flags.

Agree 1000% with my wise colleague!

12 credits is a full time student. That’s perfectly fine and I don’t think anyone will judge you for that being too light.

You're good. Stop losing sleep over this.
