Hi guys, I been on SDN for a while now as a lurker but I am going to make a post and ask for advice so please don't flame me (as I see many people are doing to threads like this ). Here's the problem....I have been accepted to a dental school but it is not my first choice, (waitlisted at my first choice-my state school). The cost difference is about 180K-200K, and I am really worry about getting the money to pay for it all and I am seriously thinking of giving up my spot and reapply again next year to my state school. People keep telling me that there's so much competition to get in that there is no guarantee one will be accepted next year-this I understand of course but I am also really burnt out and want to take a year off but my parents are pressuring me to go to school in the fall. I think I have decent enough stats to compete again next year with a possibility of getting accepted either at my state school or somewhere else cheaper. As of now i am really contemplating on what to do? What would you guys do if you were in my situation? Thanks in advance
