2 days ago I received a Waitlist Acceptance From my top choice that I interviewed at! As soon as I received the acceptance The other school was notified so I chose to withdraw. Unfortunately, I had already signed a lease and paid a deposit for a rental house in Florida. The Leasing Company is being difficult and I have explained the situation and how I am Trying to Void the Lease. Do you have any advice to offer?

1. GroupMe for that school see if someone needs it
Then you can tell landlord you have found someone to re- let

I am so defeated rn that I can't get myself to reapply. This will be my 4th time reapplying but I think it's time to call it quits. 1st time finally getting my mcat score to 500 after a few retakes, and first time ever getting on the waitlist to not just 1 but 2 MD schools. Still, I feel so lost. I feel like this whole process has ruined and robbed me of 4 years that I could've used for other careers... Can't see myself doing anything else but if I don't hear good news from atleast 1 of these schools soon, I really don't know what I'll do

Don't give up. I applied 5 times over a span of 10 years and finally got in. I also barely hit a 500 mcat score, GPA wasn't that great either.Got 2 acceptances= 1 MD and 1 DO
