Hi guys,
I posted here a while ago about a Liberal Arts Major with a High GPA. I have been able to gain a Medical Scribe position for the Summer and hopefully will do some shadowing as well (P.S: If I'm not mistaken, a Scribe position counts as volunteering hours?) However, in my sophomore year, I withdrew from a Calc I course; I took it out of interest, but since at my university Calc I is considered the hardest course, I dropped it because I didn't want it to affect my GPA (I'm really running on a 3.982 as one of my strong points for post bacc). However, I have the chance to take it over again this summer; I'm afraid I might get a bad grade once again, so I was wondering whether 1 withdrawal, especially from a prereq class, is a big factor in the light of other things on an applicant? I am trying next year to apply to several of the top schools (Brwn Mawr, Goucher, John Hopkins, Columbia) so relative to these programs. Thanks so much for any help.
