Hi all:
I just had my interview at one of my state schools. I had a great interview with one faculty member and with the other one, I thought it went well too. I felt that even if I don't get in this year to my state school, if I re-take MCAT and take some additional classes, my chances are pretty good next time around.
My question is..What IF I get into a out of state school and decide to give that up and wait one more year to see if I can get into one of my state schools. Giving up an admissions offer..is that a bad thing in the eyes of AAMC?
The main reason I will consider doing that is I have a family, a house here. Our in-state tuition is very reasonable and affordable. If I go out of state, its gonna make our lives much much more difficult - financially and socially.
If anyone has any insights into this.. I would appreciate that very much.
Thanks,
S.
