Hello,
I have IBD and am wondering what would happen if I had to repeat a year or remediate a block due to having a flare-up requiring hospitalization or surgery that causes me to miss time. My symptoms are pretty well-managed, but chronic illnesses can be unpredictable. If I had to repeat a year due to medical reasons, would I have to pay for a whole extra year? At schools that have significant need or merit-based aid, would that aid cover me for the extra year or would I have to pay full price for it? Are there any other considerations that I might need to consider before committing to a school?
