VArachel:

chose to attend Virginia Commonwealth Uni on a full ride scholarship per the guidance of many people on CC and my family, and defer my parent’s college savings to med school.

This is a HUGE win!

VArachel:

Although I know that this was financially the right decision, I am bummed/embarrassed since i worked extremely hard in high school and was told that I could go anywhere if i worked hard but the only thing holding me back from LA is the money.

In no way should you bummed or embarrassed. Since you worked extremely hard in high school, you’re getting a FULL RIDE to college. My goodness, not many people can say that.

This is a triumph, not a disaster. I hope you achieve your goal of med school. You will do well regardless of where you go to college as an undergrad. Best of luck.
