Last November I went to interview at a medical school and was blown away. At the time, I couldn't imagine how any school could be better and so after the interview but before I was accepted there, I wrote an update letter to them where I spoke about grades, volunteering, and my desire to attend their school. I used the language "after interviewing at xcom, it is now my top choice medical school." I realize now that saying this was a mistake but I can't change the past and I sincerely had no intention of misleading them at the time because I thought that I had been rejected by all the schools that I would have chosen over them. I recently had the good fortune to be accepted to a school that I honestly thought had rejected me earlier in the cycle (they sent me an email saying my application was on hold and I mistook that as a soft "R"). Now I am faced with the decision of honoring my letter and going to school 1 or writing them a letter explaining the circumstances and attending school 2. (Idk if it changes anything but school 1 is ~ rank 60 and school 2 is a t20.) I guess I'm writing this both for ethical advice and for rules advice (is my letter binding?). Any help would be appreciated and if this is in the wrong place I apologize and I will take it down and move it to the correct place. Thank you all in advance
