Thanks but no thanks USC

Today I asked USC if they could make an exception to their policy and defer my MBA until 2013. They said no and offered to make an exception and return my $1500 deposit. Then I can re-apply from scratch next year if I'm well. That's not what I asked for. I guess when you're USC and you have warm bodies lined up to come to your school you don't need a cancer sob story. I told them never mind. I'll come to class sick.
