I was suppose to graduate fall quarter of last year (). I signed up for the 2 classes I needed to graduate. One of them was online (via my school), the other a chemistry lab. After week 3 of classes, I had a family emergency (had to help take care) and essentially take a leave of absence for winter quarter. I had to drop my lab, but I did end up taking the 1 online course since I didn't need to physically be there. Anyways, I came back spring and took the 1 lab class (got an A), and graduated with honors.
Will adcoms look down upon the fact that one quarter I had only 5 units, then skipped a quarter, and then took the class I needed and graduated (basically took 4 years + 2 quarters) because of family stuff? Is there any place on AMCAS I can explain my situation? Right now, before applying to next cycle, I'm working, volunteering, and probably take 2 more classes (upper div bio).
Thank you for ANY feedback.
