I was so excited after submitting my deposit at an OOS school, but recently a loved one’s cancer has advanced rapidly and I’m terrified. I’m terrified of the possibility that I’ll have to leave before we have a sense of the treatment’s success, of losing precious time together, of having this anxiety hanging over 1L. This family member has strongly objected to my requesting a deferral, as it would put my scholarship at risk. Already have a lease and everything. Has anyone been a similar situation? I’m just trying to figure out wth I’m supposed to do.
