Hello,
I was a navy corpsman in the Navy and was a surgical technologist, opthalmology technologist and field med tech (Iraq), for about 6 years. (earned diplomas for all the above)
The docs I worked with told me that I had it made as far as getting accepted to a med school, so got out the navy and decided to go for it.
Now I am attending a community college at the moment and I am at my sophomore year, I have taken a lot of classes including summer school since I started. Anyways I started attending in spring of 08 and have 55 credits with a GPA of 3.59, the problem is that I have withdrawn from 3 classes, 2 of them for the same class Sociology ( I hated that class so I withdrew the first time, the second time I wanted to finish what I started but it was online, my comp broke and I withdrew again; I guess I was not meant to be a sociologist lol.
The 3rd withdrawal was concepts of chem, I started the class and had an avg of 92, but had some issues with my daughter's daycare and was forced to withdraw.
I am taking gen chem 1 but I am doing terrible, I have an 80 avg. My teacher is hard as nails and his grading is not the best. anyways I was planning to withdraw again, but I thought of myself that it was probably not the best Idea.
A bunch of people say that admissions dont care about the withdrawals and others do, so I am confused
If I dont withdraw and get a B in chem my gpa only rises to 3.63
If I withdraw my GPA rises to 3.69
so what do I do?
In one hand I can have a great 3.81 GPA total once I apply to med school but showing 4 withdrawals in my transcript
In the other hand I can have a 3.72-3.75 GPA total with 3 withdrawals.
I plan to transfer to Uconn in fall 10 and get my degree from there.
Thank you for all your help
