Hi everyone! I am a junior at a public undergrad and am hoping to apply this next upcoming cycle. I just had to withdraw from a science course that I wasn't doing well in. Its not a pre-med course requirement or a requirement for my degree, but my school only does WF and WP for withdrawals so I'm scared that might look super bad. I had to withdraw with a failing grade and I am not sure how medical schools might see this. I only took the course for my own interest in the subject but I wasn't doing too hot since I am also studying for the MCAT this semester. I found myself putting my MCAT studying aside for this course, so I withdrew because needed to prioritize m MCAT over bringing my grade up for this course.

I have also had a previous WP from a previous human phys course due to covid related issues, but I retook that and ended with an A.
