Had a bunch of late drops on my transcript this year because of issues at home.

Is this going to hurt my chances at IB and what do you guys think the best way to explain these late drops is? I feel really shitty for how many i had I had 9 this year but none last year and will probably have no more until I graduate, its just always on my mind how many drops I had because I feel like the second a employer looks at the transcript or even if I wanted to an MBA it would look so bad and ruin a lot of chances for me.

9 Ws is a lot... is that all of your classes for both semesters? First of all, make sure you will absolutely not drop any more classes - if you need to take a semester off to get these issues resolved, do it

That is for sure going to knock you for MBA.

Luckily IB doesn't really care. GPA matches transcript and you're good. They don't even look at transcript until well after the offer and it is solely to verify GPA.
