so i have kind of a weird situation:
i graduated from a university that did not have any for of exercise science/pt program and was a psychology major. I took A&P 1 over the summer at my county college between my sophomore and junior year and got an A pretty easily. That following spring semester of my junior year, I decided I wanted to be ambitious and try to do A&P 2 as a hybrid class (lectures online, labs on the weekend once a month). I would not receive credit at my home institution and it was purely for the PT prereqs. However, this proved to be tougher than I initially thought because I was also taking a full course load at my regular college while dancing on our varsity dance team. Halfway through the semester, I decided I couldn't do it anymore and wanted to drop A&P 2 but they said the only way to do this was in person and I had missed the deadline to do so. Needless to say I ended up with an F because I did not complete the course and couldn't withdraw. I'm retaking it now with the hopes of getting an A but I was just wondering how I should address this with my application... I'm fully aware that I made a huge mistake/misjudgement by thinking I could handle all that in one semester and I don't want this to wreck my chances at PT school. If anyone has any advice on if/how I should address this in my application I would greatly appreciate it! Thanks.
