I cannot help but feeling so down about where I ended up getting into med school. It’s in my home town, where my parents have since moved out of, away from my friends and any big cities, and I can’t pursue any of my previous interests there bc the school has a primary care focus. I feel like I’m stuck, and everyone else moved on.

I feel grateful not to have to apply again but I’m just so disappointed bc I thought things would turn out differently. Worst of all, my only WL is a non pass fail school, so idk how much better an alternative that is.

I just feel like I got two short ends of a stick that I should be grateful to have but can’t help but feel dread about.

This isn’t meant to be tone deaf. I have friends who feel similarly. Any people have advice going to schools that they aren’t thrilled about? Or locations they are really bummed about?
