I'm waitlisted at Oregon and still waiting to hear from Tufts and Michigan. Michigan has slowly been sending out acceptances, but it's getting close to the point where they start sending out rejections and I'm downhearted. There's so many people on Oregon's waitlist that I have absolutely no hope. And I feel like Tufts is so amazing and competitive that I cannot see them taking me at all- I still can't figure out why they even gave me an interview.
I've been accepted to St. George's and Edinburgh (5yr) but I'm not sure what I should do if I don't get into anywhere other than St. George's or Edinburgh. Edinburgh is so expensive because it's 5 years (300k). Plus my SO is in the Navy and such a long distance for such a long time would be really difficult. And Grenada's not any better- expensive and far away plus I feel like I'd be looked down upon if I went to St. George and not have as good of a chance getting internships after graduation (I want to be zoo/exotic/wildlife).
I need help!
Is it possible to defer your acceptance for a year? That would allow you to apply again and potentially getting into a state school and then you could give up your seat. I would just be afraid to give up the seat totally bc if you don't get into a state school next year I would assume you would apply internationally again, but it would not look good to apply to a school who you've already been accepted into but rejected the seat the year prior.
