What's Northstate's deferral policy? Can you still recover your refundable deposit?
Yes, it stinks if CNU is your only acceptance, and if they don't know their status until after matriculation (you can't rush the LCME on anything), you can only go with what the school is telling you now.
In my perspective, as far as AMCAS is concerned, you would have to indicate you have been enrolled in medical school once before. There will also be the issue of transcripts. I'll keep looking up stuff...
