    Can anyone please advice!

    Hi, I know there are probably lots of threads on this matter, but I want you to look at my personal situation.

    I have 7 W's.

    I have reasonable excuses for most of them...

    I had a W in my freshman year; I was ultra stupid.

    W General Biology

    I then had another W in a summer class; I continued to be as you can see, very stupid.

    W in Pre-Calculus

    Technically I only have 2 inexcusable W's

    For the other W's I have have a reasonable explanation.

    I lost a full year because in the first semester I had transportation problems at the end of it, and in the second semester I had surgery and my doctor said I had to drop out temporarily.

    So, what do you guys think? Do I still have a chance of getting in?

    Honestly, I've tried many times to change my major, but there is something that really pulls me towards medicine.I like it a lot. I tried engineering and hated it, I tried business and ended hating it too. I cannot visualize myself doing anything more than being a physician, but I always lack in motivation and fear that I will not get what I most want in life. I'm too insecure. I have many fears. I'm desperate to find a good advice on this matter.

    Thanks in advance.

    If they bring it up, I'll tell them the real reason - I was stupid and always overscheduled to see what the classes would be like, and then waited too long to drop lol. I've only withdrew from like one class I've taken a test in. One semester I scheduled 21 hrs and dropped one to get 18 hrs - and than got straight A's in hard classes - correct decision on my part. It was just poor planning and being naive at the time. The point is, I've learned from it and have matured - that's what they want to see in you. It appears that most of your W's are early on. They look for upward trends.
