Hi all,

I applied for Fall admission, but unfortunately I was denied because I had withdrawn from a class 2 years ago. I am now retaking the class (that I withdrew from a year ago - Fall 2011), but due to a (recent) death in the family, I am going to have to withdraw.

Should I even bother applying for Spring semester, if I explain to them why I withdrew? Reason is I flew overseas to see my dying grandmother, and a week later attended her funeral. Or should I wait to apply for Fall semester?

Thanks for your help.
