Okay so here's my story. I graduated HS at 16 years old. I applied for the nursing program and I got in, which I was very happy about. I went through a lot just to get in. Unfortunately, this morning, the dean and two other professors informed me that there is a high possibility that I will be asked to withdraw from the program because of the fact that I'm still a minor. They said that according to the law, I can't go to clinicals as a minor. I'm not sure but I think it's the clinical agency's policy. They suggested me to take the CNA program and my general studies instead while waiting until I'm old enough to be in the program. They said they overlooked my age because of my grades. I mean, it's not my fault that they overlooked it. They said it never happened before. They did the background check, but they still let me in the program. Half of my tuition was paid through financial aid, if I drop the nursing class that I'm taking right now, I would be down from 16 to 7 credits so that will affect my financial aid. I also bought all the books that was required for the classes. But those are just minor things. I expected that I will graduate in two years, but they are asking me to wait for another two years to be allowed in the program. They're not kicking me out, they're just putting me on hold until I turn 18. I need some advice and opinion about this matter. I'm very frustrated..
