Yeah, it’s going to be less than 10% of your income if you earn less than 100,000 a year, so you really don’t have to worry much. Probably cheaper than any other option you have, including a state school, unless we’re talking about a full merit ride to the schools that offer those.

A caveat about SSP - I went to that too. The acceptance rate I hear is about 40%, and I wouldn’t doubt it noting some of the people who got in. The acceptance rate for Harvard undergraduate admissions is slightly lower. But hey, I didn’t even get all As in SSP (in fact, I got an A- in Neurobiology 4 cred and a B in Psychology of Influence 4 cred [a class where everyone got As but I strongly clashed with the professor]) and it still worked out all right for me.
