Omitting some details for confidentiality.
I was a first semester student at a US osteopathic medical school. After being harassed and bullied by some of the administration and the dean which included threats for professionalism (for something I did not do), I was not able to finish the semester as admin threatened to dismiss me. After a lawyer got involved, I was found not guilty of the professionalism issue, admin became concerned of some of their actions, and the school issued me a letter of withdrawal in good standing (instead of dismissal) if I do not proceed with the legal action. After going through all of this, I could not imagine returning to that school and seeking advice on reapplying to DO/MD programs with a leave in good standing. What are my chances if I was previously accepted to multiple schools? How much is this going to harm me if I left in good standing? What should I do?
Thank you.
