"W's" count as "F's" to med schools?

<p>I just spoke to my adviser and she told me that certain med schools like UF look at "W's" as "F's" i never heard this before, it honestly doesn't seem fair to a person who just dropped one class or two classes...even if it was a pre med requirement....it seems like she was bsing me....so i wanted to know if anyone heard of this before?</p>

<p>I have heard of this before, but I was never able to assess its veracity. AMCAS certainly does not do this while calculating your GPA.</p>
