ucbalumnus:

Wouldn’t your actual dream school be a medical school?

This and every thing that followed from @ucbalumnus is THE take home message. It might suck because you got too close before vetting whether or not you could afford it, but undergrad is the stepping stone, not the goal. Med schools could care less where you go to undergrad. In every respect you are probably better off at VCU than UCLA. If embarrassment is part of the issue, reframe it. You turned down UCLA because VCU was the better option. Hang in there and good luck!
