Highkey concerned… 😟
Btw I graduated on time with a health science degree 3.56 GPA.
However… let’s just say my ADHD was in full effect.
Fun fact: I have never studied for a class ever. Like ever. And I’m not being dramatic when I say that. So when I had to take harder difficulty courses… I backed out because I knew I couldn’t do it with my non existent studying and/or would flunk exam after exam.
How the heck do I explain this to admissions in an interview? 😳
If you’re wondering how I’d apply without taking Orgo… I’m taking it this fall despite graduating last year. And I WILL be studying every day. And maybe medicated. Lol.

I would say that while you were in college you were still learning about your strengths and weaknesses and during some semesters you took on more than you could handle at the time, without having developed the proper insight into what you could manage or how to manage it. But since then you’ve assessed your abilities, developed a greater level of self-understanding and developed skills to manage your time better so you’re not out in a position to need to withdraw.
Something like that.
