I was accepted into med school at Univ. of Arizona. This is my state school and top choice (b/c of costs). They begin orientation July 19th! I have a contract with a company through the middle of August (it's a two year contract I signed last year), at a place I love working at. I don't want to back out on a contract, and had honestly been thinking about deferring for a year anyways in order to travel and do some medical missions.
So, any advice on how to ask for a deferrment? Write a letter? Call the school? I'm extremely nervous that they will turn my request down, as I'm not sure what I would decide to do. I honestly might turn down the spot, which would mean reapplying next year. I just turned 23, so I'm in no immediate hurry to begin med school. ANY advice is appreciated, especially if you have had experience deferring before...thanks,
