Questions about withdrawals

Published

Hi everyone, so I currently want to pursue a career into nursing and I'm currently on my last semester finishing up all my prerequisite to apply. However, I currently have 6 withdrawals from my university and was wondering how badly this would ruin my chances of getting into a decent nursing school. The reason I have these 6 withdrawals was because I honestly had no idea what I wanted to do in college and ended up switching my majors a few times before deciding on nursing. Due to this I had to use all of my withdrawals to preserve my GPA. Did I end up screwing my chances of getting into a good school by dropping those classes? I honestly can't stop thinking about this so any opinions on this subject would mean a lot to me. Thanks all!

Relax.  It is fine.  I had Ws and got into Johns Hopkins and UCLA!  You can address these in your essay - just explain what like you did in your post.  Best wishes!

Ask the school you want to apply to.  No one on here will be able to tell you for sure if you can get in.
