Question
If I drop biochem how bad will that hurt me? I put it as a planned course on my grad school app. so will they look at it as laziness or not being able to handle the heat and not let me into the program? I took all sorts of upper level biology courses (immunology, cellular & mollecular bio, etc) and I know that biochem is a course in the grad. program. As of now it I can withdraw with out a W on my transcript. Another thing is, last summer I started Biochem at BU but went in for surgery mid summer semester and had to withdraw so I am wary of that too.

Is this question more suitable for a different forum?

I appreciate the help and guidance

I'm not sure if I am understanding what you're asking correctly, but as I understood it, you took biochem once before, and dropped it due to health concerns. You're taking it again right now, but considering dropping it again..

Dont.

It's a bad idea. I know you have reasons and excuses, but med schools will likely see it as slacking and that you're not tough enough to take the course.

Edit: If you can withdraw without a W, that will be better than withdrawing with a W. I missed that part.
