Hi everyone,
I was accepted into the school of my choice this past November, which I think was the best day of my life, as many years of hardwork paid off (redoing courses, redoing MCAT, volunteering, shadowing, writing personal statement and all those damn secondary essays) . However I am just finding out that I will not be be able to go to this school as I cannot qualify for the loan that I needed, due to my families (my mothers) low income. I am international student so I wont be getting much from the government. Initially when I planned all this out, our bank representative informed us that my mother's savings would be enough to guarantee me a loan however now I have been told that I cannot get the amount that I needed and find myself completely distraught . I feel like most people will assume that I am an idiot for not making sure that I was financially capable before applying . But now I will have to work for at least 3 years to make enough to go to school and redo the MCAT, and do more shadowing and everything that goes with it.
My question is, am I the only idiot that this has happened with? is there literally anything that I can do? Friends and external family cannot help me either.
Also do schools keep on record who was accepted? so when I reapply in 4 years time, will there be a trace anywhere that I was initially accepted , not that it will matter.
Sorry for the long post, I think I just needed to vent but I appreciate any and all responses.
