Sorry to hear that you’re disappointed with your college situation. You did work hard and you received a lot of great options as validation of your efforts. Seems like the unfortunate part was 1. You didn’t know that UCs don’t give FA to OOS and 2. Your parents made an very nice offer/gesture without understanding the full implications.

The good news is that since med school is very expensive, being able to graduate debt free from undergrad will be an amazing gift. And as med school is your goal, take advantage of the full ride and opportunities you’ll have at VCU. Maybe UCLA could be in your future for med school?
