<p>I'm a freshman at Upenn. My grades in my five classes so far are all A's, and I'm having a decent enough semester. However, I have a recurrent medical problem and I'm being advised to take a medical leave, possibly until NEXT fall. </p>

<p>How will this affect my chances at getting into a good graduate program after Penn? How will this look on my transcript (being that this is my first semester). </p>

<p>Please give constructive advice. Thank you.</p>

<p>you'll be fine, they won't care as long as you do come back and do well. </p>

<p>if you're sick, take the time off and get it taken care of. it's not worth fooling around with,and you'll be far better off coming back in good shape</p>

<p>plus, can't attend a good grad program if you aren't healthy!</p>
