Lots Of Withdrawals On My Transcript…ok For Grad School?

Over the years in and out of college I’ve had some really rough patches…not in terms of grades, but in terms of life…and having to withdraw from classes.
I have one semester where it was *all* withdrawals (had to have surgery); withdrew from half classes in following semester (physical therapy from surgery wasn’t going well and I couldn’t get around, do therapy, *and* keep up in classes); another where I withdrew from half my classes (had pneumonia and almost died).
And then a couple other classes in other semesters (one at a time) where I was just overloaded and withdrew from one class to end up not sacrificing the others (along with my grades).
My GPA is decent (3.63) and I’m a diligent student. I’m just wondering how this will look to grad schools? Or possibly med school? I want to continue on with my education, but while surfing various college forums noticed several different posts where people are concerned about 2 or 3 withdraws. It never occurred to me that they would be viewed as “bad”. Most cases I just didn’t have a choice (medically); the rest I chose for what I considered the best option in my education/situation at the time.
Will this hurt my chances of grad or med school?
Thanks in advance!

Athletic Training And Grad School?

I plan on majoring in athletic training for my bachelors degree and then get my masters. Can I go to grad school for education or physical therapy while also being a graduate assistant? Are masters degrees limited to certain subjects with a bachelors in athletic training?

Can Somebody Give Me Some Suggestions For Grad School?

I have a bachelors in business and want to go to grad school. The problem is that I am really really not sure about which grad schools to consider. I was thinking about an MBA, Law School, and even physical therapy.
Problem is that my GPA is only slightly above 3.0 and have not been able to get a lot of good work experience over the past 2 years due to the economy. I am sure that I would want to go to grad school though. I find the employment market for people holding just a bachelors and little experience just too tough.
Could somebody please provide me with some advice into which grad schools I should look with more detail?
Thanks
