I am a junior and I want to withdraw from ORGO 2 and take it next semester(fall senior year)

I plan to apply this summer for medical schools..

Question - Will the schools which require 2 semesters of orgo consider me if I have enrolled for the fall senior year??

How will the "W" on my transcript be viewed by adcoms..

So far I do not have any W on my transcript.

Thanks

Yes, they will still consider you, since you do not need to have completed all of the prereqs before applying. You just have to complete them before matriculating. As for how a W will look...I'm under the impression that most people take W's if they're in danger of failing the course/can't handle the course. Adcoms likely have a similar impression. W's are better than F's, for sure, but they're not exactly pretty.

Your school sucks then. Even my community college offers o.chem 2 in the fall.

OP - don't stress out. Since it's your only W, they won't hold it against you. They may ask in interview why you dropped. Just be honest about it.

Most schools in my area don't either.
