Hello everyone,
I have a unique situation compared to other students. My father passed away a little over a year ago and since I have fought for custody of my younger half brother. In the spring semester last year I was granted partial custody where I was given time to see him in the evenings til the following school morning. This resulted in me picking him up from his school most days of the week and it required me to skip my Biochemistry course. I eventually decided to withdraw from the course because I was unable to attend class.
This semester, I decided to retake the Biochemistry course and I made sure to make it a morning course so that I would not have any problems with picking him up. However, he recently changed schools and now I drop him off at school late enough that it is conflicting with my Biochemistry course again. It is difficult to keep up in a course when you can't attend it. My first instinct was to just withdraw from the course but I am concerned about how two withdraws from the same course would look to medical schools.
Any advice on this dilemma would be wonderful. Thank you for your time.
