So I have 1 "W" on my transcript from dropping out of calculus based physics to just taking the algebra based. My reasoning isn't that great in the medical school eyes, as I was just basically getting lost in the math and didn't feel like I was learning that well, so I wanted to focus more on conceptual physics in the algebra based course. I ended up getting A's in both physics 1 and 2 and also a 131 on the chem/phys section of the MCAT, and my GPA is high as well with no other bad marks. I definitely feel like it was the right choice for my understanding of physics, I just don't know if I should discuss my W on my secondaries when they ask for any other info they would like to know? Or should I just not mention it and wait until interviews if they ask there?

Thanks!
