Hi all!
I have a dilemma. I have an interview scheduled for mid Dec that I don't particularly want to attend. I have had 4 interviews before this, been waitlisted by 1 and am waiting to hear from the other 3. Today I calculated my total costs for attending this interview (~$500). I am not terribly enthusiastic about this school, it's suboptimal for me (location, cost, degree type). In fact I applied here essentially accidentally (yes I know, why apply somewhere you wouldn't go? Prioirties shifted with time for me). So I am reluctant to keep the appointment because of the highlighted concerns but also the travel cost (I'm running out of money)
I'm unsure if I should attend this interview despite my reservations. I do know that it is usually inadvisable to skip an interview without an acceptance in hand, but I am not very sure that I would be happy to go to this school if it was my only acceptance...Still the paranoid part of me thinks that going to this school would beat never becoming a doctor. My application itself is not the greatest and I don't anticipate getting more II at this point, so this could very well be my only option in a month... What do you all think?
