UVM curriculum / in-seat time

[centesisgirl]

I have an extremely difficult choice to make due to family circumstances. I have an acceptance at UVM, but if I were to attend, I would need to maintain my primary residency out of state (direct flight into Burlington). Things have come to a head recently and I need to make my choice yesterday!

I am wondering if it is at all possible to split my time between school and home out of state, understanding there will be weeks where I am there 100%. I have family in town so housing etc is taken care of. Money is not an issue. I don't want to be too specific about my circumstances as they would easily identify me.

Please, I am desperate for advice. Any info is appreciated. I know some schools essentially never have an in-person lecture, others are very problem-based... UVM's curriculum is unclear to me as I didn't attend info sessions due to the aforementioned circumstances.. someone please help me.

I would try on the UVM thread or ask students there in the admitted facebook/groupchat what their requirements for in-person things are. This sounds like a difficult and complicated plan but if they don't have many mandatory lectures i think you could pull it off for preclinical stuff. Once you have to start being there for clinical rotations though this is going to be impossible

It's hard to know what to advise you, but if you are in the midst of some family crisis, that is a reason you could ask UVM if you could defer starting school until 2023. Deferrals are always decided by a school on a case by case basis, and you would have to be candid with the school about the reasons.
