Deleting most of the context because I don't want to be super perceived but TL;DR: Financial circumstances changed due to unforeseen emergency, already withdrew from schools and deposited at school that I'm not sure I can afford anymore. Asked about advice regarding asking for a school to give me back the scholarship + acceptance offer I declined.
Update 1: I reached out to the school I deposited at, asking to be reconsidered for more need-based aid. I'm holding off on reaching out to the school I withdrew from for now, as I don't want to ask for the spot back and then withdraw yet again. Thank you everyone for the kind words! All I can really say is, life is full of terrible surprises but also abundant kindness.
