Are this many withdrawals affecting my acceptance?

[xxgersonxx]

Hello,

I was a navy corpsman in the Navy and was a surgical technologist, opthalmology technologist and field med tech (Iraq), for about 6 years. (earned diplomas for all the above)

The docs I worked with told me that I had it made as far as getting accepted to a med school, so got out the navy and decided to go for it.

Now I am attending a community college at the moment and I am at my sophomore year, I have taken a lot of classes including summer school since I started. Anyways I started attending in spring of 08 and have 55 credits with a GPA of 3.59, the problem is that I have withdrawn from 3 classes, 2 of them for the same class Sociology ( I hated that class so I withdrew the first time, the second time I wanted to finish what I started but it was online, my comp broke and I withdrew again; I guess I was not meant to be a sociologist lol.

The 3rd withdrawal was concepts of chem, I started the class and had an avg of 92, but had some issues with my daughter's daycare and was forced to withdraw.

I am taking gen chem 1 but I am doing terrible, I have an 80 avg. My teacher is hard as nails and his grading is not the best. anyways I was planning to withdraw again, but I thought of myself that it was probably not the best Idea.

A bunch of people say that admissions dont care about the withdrawals and others do, so I am confused

If I dont withdraw and get a B in chem my gpa only rises to 3.63
If I withdraw my GPA rises to 3.69

so what do I do?

In one hand I can have a great 3.81 GPA total once I apply to med school but showing 4 withdrawals in my transcript
In the other hand I can have a 3.72-3.75 GPA total with 3 withdrawals.

I plan to transfer to Uconn in fall 10 and get my degree from there.

Thank you for all your help

3 no, but stop if you can.

no more, go to "withdraw anonymous" LOL

any way, seriously after three is the red flag territory its when you look at a transcript and think, every time this person finds it hard they give up. Wrong impression to give.

They'll probably ask you about why you withdrew from those classes in your interview if you get that far. Better back it up with the truth, but a bit juicier if you know what I am saying.
