Undergrad semester withdrawal due to medical condition

[WolverineDR-18]

New here. My daughter is a college soph and considering withdrawing from the semester due to a medical condition that is requiring rest. Wondering how that will look to med school admissions. She could withdraw from just a couple classes or the whole semester. I think withdrawing from the whole semester would be easier to explain on med school application than a withdrawal from a couple classes (might then infer it was due to poor grades). She's been told transcript would not say "Medical Withdrawal" , just "Withdrawal". Or, she could tough out the rest of the semester, but her grades may suffer. She's been diagnosed with post-concussive syndrome. Severe headaches and problems focusing.

I know...she's the one who should be inquiring, not her mom.

This will be seen as a sign of wisdom and maturity.

Toughing it out is usually followed by poor grades.

And...make sure her medical condition is fully under control before she goes back to school next semester. Do not rush it

Agree with @Goro, @JeSuisUnDoc and @Toutie in case you want another opinion.
