I obtained too many withdrawals and mediocre grades during my freshman and sophomore years due to a poorly controlled chronic illness. I found something that worked for me around March-April of my sophomore year, which was Spring 2019. Since getting healthy, I have been getting straight A's. This started in summer 2019 and continued in fall 2019.
In March 2020, I got 5 more withdrawals (a semester's worth), but this time not related to the illness that caused the other withdrawals. Myself and much of my family got REALLY sick with COVID in March of 2020. We nearly lost my dad, who got critically ill with COVID even though he was a middle-aged healthy guy. We had medical bills and so I had to quit school because we couldn't pay the remainder of my tuition.
I was planning to spend two years, Summer 2019-Spring 2021, with going to summer school every summer, establishing a pattern of academic success (meaning no withdrawals). As stated above, COVID clearly threw a wrench in my plans.
If I explain the above, do you think I would be wise to keep my original plan and still apply spring 2021? I would only have 1 year of mostly or all A's and 0 withdrawals instead of the 2 years I originally planned. I'm just wondering how likely they would be to make an exception to the "2 years of reinvention" soft policy because this was directly pandemic-related.
