Hello all...
I have myself in a tricky situation. I was admitted to my local state university, on the condition that I finish my last 2 prerequisites. Unfortunately, I ended up with a D in one of the classes... I had a medical issue at the beginning of the semester, and couldn't catch up. I already gave notice to my job and they have hired a replacement for me, and I also moved to a new apartment to be closer to this university. The state school is now telling me that I will have to retake the course in the fall, and then reapply for next year....they are unwilling to be flexible at all........I was supposed to start grad school in 3 weeks, and now everything is ruined.
I reached out to one of the private universities that accepted me in March, and they said that I could still enroll. However, the private university costs double the price of the public one........
should i wait and risk reapplying to the public one? or should i accept the offer at the private one?
I dont really want to wait a whole year to start school. I feel like I will lose motivation. I also won't have a job, so I would have to get another job if I wanted to wait a year.
