Someone PLEASE help.
I've got about 60 credits under my belt, and a TON of withdrawals.(20-25 credits worth) Most of it because I was working way too much, some because I didn't know what I wanted.
But I've since quit my job, started doing volunteer work, and truly know what I want to do in life. I'm willing to put everything into the MCATS and maintaining an awesome gpa, but I'm worried it won't matter to admissions. Is there anything I can do to compensate? Or any chance of getting in *anywhere* with all these Ws on my transcript?
Anything at all you could tell me would be greatly appreciated. Thanks all.
As long as you have a valid excuse for the withdrawals, I would suggest you include your explanation with your applications to the medical schools. Being up front and honest, assuming you have a valid excuse, will work wonders. If the rest of your application is solid, I actually think a withdrawal won't look nearly as bad as having gotten bad grades in those classes.
