You just have to decide if $1500 is worth spending 4 years at a school knowing you would have been happier somewhere else. Once you're paying $45,000+ each year after 4 years I don't think you'd miss that $1500 one bit if you are happier but that's me...What are the thoughts on declining my acceptance at CUSOM thereby buying myself more time (and possibly money)? "Worst" case scenario, I attend DCOM which isn't the end of the world...its medschool and i am satisfied with that.. but I'd be happier at CUSOM and possibly more happy at the other two based on my exposure there.
Then the $1500 really wouldn't bother me at all if I was going to be happier somewhere else. To me if I clearly likes one school over the other I wouldn't let the deposit be the deciding factor when there's only a possibility of getting into a school I like better but that's for you to decide.Uncle Sam will be covering that. I plan on doing HPSP.
Would it be a completely foolish decision to give up my seat and banking on an II from my #1/#2 knowing DCOM is my fall back??
The advantage of DCOM is that I have an extra month to put down a deposit. So I have about 2 months from now before I have to lay down any money. Should I get an II and or an acceptance from one of my top choices within a reasonable length of time, I may not have to ever lay down a deposit for DCOM and I can save myself a lot of money! So i am unsure if I would be making a really dumb mistake to pass up on CUSOM if I have little chance of getting any (good) news from PCOM or VCOM in time.
