I have been in a masters program linked to a DO school. Unfortunately flooding in my city, a family job loss, and just overall poor timing is putting me in a tough place financially and mentally. I'm doing well in my classes, but I dont know if I can keep that up with recent events. On top of that, I am involved in 3 weddings, one of which is my own.

If I withdraw this semester, how will this impact my application at DO schools in the future?

To add, my mcat is 500, but I am retaking it in January with promising results based off practice exams.

My science gpa is 2.95, but will be raised to a 3.0 with 1 more undergrad class. The low science gpa is the result of a stalker that terrorized me during my final 2 semesters of undergrad and I didnt know how to handle it then.

How much will withdrawing hurt me?
Life happens. Just take an LOA, and come back stronger.
