Hey guys. This might have been answered before but I just needed some clarification:
According to AMCAS:
"Grades of "IF" or unauthorized/unofficial/administrative withdrawal may be treated as "F" in the GPA depending on how they are considered by your school."
10 years ago, I did not officially withdraw from my 2nd semester freshman year. Essentially, my college put a UW for those classes with a total of 15 credit hours. However, they were NOT included in the GPA calculation. In addition, the classes were 3 credit non-BCPM classes.
Recently, I returned as a nontrad in a state school with a GPA of 3.96 double majoring in biochemistry and public health, earned 38R on the MCAT, hours of shadowing and working as a medical assistant, and 2 years of research without any publications. I play the violin in an orchestra and I am a polyglot. I am worried that these UWs will detrimentally factor in my AMCAS GPA calculations. I am even considering in applying to a SMP program to improve my credentials Please kindly advise.
Thanks!!
