Originally I was pursuing an MD/DO route. I went to Philadelphia College of Osteopathic Medicine to pursue my SMP. While there I became very ill and had to withdraw from the program. I was given an opportunity to return, but decided not to because I became disenchanted with that particular field of medicine. That was in February, since then I've been working as a medical scribe at a podiatry clinic and studying for my MCATs.
My question is do I have to put down that I went to PCOM and the grades I got there, even though I never completed the program? I consider it a blessing in disguise because I would have ended up hating the path I was going towards. The reason I ask is that my grades there were less than stellar and I'm afraid that putting it on my application would hurt me.
