I hate to be insensitive but, I'm starting to wonder if "family illness/ got sick" is now code for, "I didn't have the money at the time" or "I wasn't feeling this organization until I dropped and then realized no one else would take me so, I came crawling back" because it seems like this excuse has been used a whole lot lately for everything from dropping a bid to having really poor grades. Is it just me or are there tons of "family illness/ got sick" stories on GC lately? I don't remember this really ever being a real problem when I was an undergrad. I sometimes wonder if people say that for poor GPA because no one is really going to expect them to back up their story for fear of looking like insensitive jerks.
