I am a freshman in college this year. I had started at my four year university in September, become seriously ill about a month in, and wound up having to take a medical withdrawal. Upon discussing my return with my dean, he felt it would be best for me to attend a community college for the spring semester and come back this fall.
I had been feeling quite a bit better. However, that didn't last long. A few weeks ago, my health issues started acting up again and causing me issues with my academics. I am now doing very poorly in one of my classes, and am considering withdrawing from it for the sake of my sGPA.
This is a class that is a prereq, and one that I was enrolled in when I took a full medical withdrawal this fall. I would imagine that for general purposes, it looks very bad to have withdrawn from the same course twice. Does this still apply in my case, where the first try resulted in an MW in the context of an entire semester of MWs and the second try resulted in a plain old W on the transcript?
In general, does having a W in a prereq reflect badly on me come application time?
Thank you.
