I was interviewed and got accepted to an out-of-state school, but my mom was given just 2 years to live by her oncologist. She already had the primary tumor removed, but there's secondary tumors that require chemo.
She's the primary income-earner of my household and her treatments have left her unable to work, but my extended family is stepping in to help.
Should I withdraw and try again next cycle to attempt to get into nearby in-state schools and explain my reasons on my personal statement or risk my mom dying while I'm a thousand miles away.
This is my second time applying, and both times I only got one interview total.
MCAT 519, GPA 3.83. 22M, East Asian. 300+ hours volunteering in a level 1 trauma center ER. No research experience.
