This summer I attended UPENN's specialized studies (gpa enhancer, taking upper division biology courses) postbac. Unfortunately, due to personal reasons I dropped out 2 of my 4 classes from fall semester. I've completed 6 of the 8 courses (A's and A-'s) needed for to receive a "certificate of completion" and more importantly the program's committee letter. Is it worth going back to PENN and finishing the program solely for the certificate of completion and the committee letter or should I continue to take classes at my original undergraduate institution and potentially have my undergraduate institution write a committee letter? Going back to PENN is possible but can raise some financial problems for me. How will medical schools see the withdrawals from 2/4 courses? I can explain those in an interview/essay etc...
Note - it is not required for me to take more classes for my undergraduate institution to write my committee letter at this point in time. But I thought taking more classes would help my gpa.
