I am applying to return to Uni this September after finding out that I'll be losing my job at the end of March. I'm applying to study Social Work. I more than meet the academic criteria for the course and currently work in a related time so have the requisite experience; so my selection for the courses will be down to personality/aptitude etc.
I originally only applied to one Uni, Uni A - it's the closest and my preferred institution for course quality. Then I had a panic and extended my application to two more. Uni B is still very commutable and my mum did her social work diploma there and I'd be happy to be offered a place. Uni C is a good Uni but a little further away, still technically doable but it will be more of a rush in the mornings and more expense to drive.
I have been offered interviews at all three institutions. My Uni A interview was on a Thursday and I feel I performed to the best if my ability and am hopeful it will be enough to get me a place. Uni B isn't until early April but I will withdraw if I'm offered Uni A - should hear mid march.
Uni C is tomorrow. Since accepting the interview I've found out that the practical placements for this Uni MUST take place in their mandated LA areas - some of which are way further away again than the actual Uni. If I could guarantee that mine would be in the city where the hninus that would be fine, but they may be an additional 45 minutes travel time - it would be 90 mins each way from home, which with two small children just isn't doable.
Add to that that I've had a virus the last few days which is causing a flare up of joint problems and in currently in agony.
WIBU to call and cancel the interview and withdraw? Am I inviting some giant karmic fuck-you or is it just sensible? I have list all sense if perspective and DH just keeps telling me to 'do what you think is best' which isnt really helpful.
