Hi Everyone,
I had to withdraw from my Master's program (it just started a week or two ago) because my parents lost their job due to COVID-19 and it is no longer feasible for me to take out a $50,000 loan. However, on my secondaries, I stated this was my plan for this upcoming year so I am not sure if schools will frown upon this/ what should I do.
I really REALLY wanted to do the program, but I just really can't have these loans, especially if medical school is in the future. I am currently looking for a full-time job and will take classes (3 actually) related to the Masters I was supposed to complete for free on sites like Coursera since I refuse to let my financial situation restrict my academic goals.
What are your thoughts on what I should do? Should I inform the schools I applied to via update letters? Thanks.
