Have to withdraw after seat deposit due to financial aid issue
I got accepted to a school and paid my seat deposit, booked flights and everything. Fully excited to go! My law school told me I have an issue with financial aid, i'm just finishing a second bachelor and the current school I am in has me in a loan disbursed set to cover from May to Oct, even though I would graduate in June. Well law school starts in August and the loan for them would need to be disbursed at that time. Now I have an overlap that cannot be fixed and I cant afford to go without aid.
I am at peace with it now, ill just redo the LSAT for a higher score, but my question is will I have any repercussions with applications next year? Will being accepted and paying a deposit at a school this year and subsequently withdrawing cause issues for me when I apply to schools next year?
