W's on a transcript??

[Shy_Gemini]

So, I'm a little worried about some W's I have on my past transcripts. I attended 2 different universities several years ago and withdrew from all my classes due to personal reasons (I never received any credits there). I am really worried this will ruin my shot at becoming a doctor even though I am doing well at my current university. Any advice? 🙁

From all the posts I have read, they say that a couple of W's isn't that bad..

You're fine.

Thank you for your responses. I appreciate it 🙂

Nah, it's expected. And it has no effect on your GPA according to AMCAS.
So long as it's not a pattern, you're good. Doesn't hurt to talk about it in the secondary if there's a box that asks for it.
