What about the DRs on your transcript?

Hi, do medical schools care about the DR (drop) marks on your transcript??? do they have a separate gpa for those courses that have been dropped by students during their undergrad years?

I am worried becaused I dropped some courses during my undergrad, and they are shown as
DR's instead of " I am transparent and you don't know whether I've been dropped."

Anyways, what do you guys think?? Is this a big issue?

I don't know about DR's but I have W's. W's aren't factored into the GPA but they don't really look wonderful either.

I withdrew passing from a math class (2nd semester freshmen year) because it was the wrong math class for me to take for my majors. Hopefully, this won't look too bad in my app. Any thoughts?
