I received my appeal decision on the phone just a few minutes ago. They gave me an extra $1k. That’s what I was expecting. I’m having a very difficult time deciding where to go. If I went to NYU, I’d be $148k in debt. How do people expect to pay that off realistically? Even spread out through a ten year time span, that’s $1250 per month, and probably more due to increasing tuition and interest rates. I know that this is a conscious decision when accepting admission to NYU, but… I don’t know. It seems like a lot of people on this board either aren’t as vocal as I am about financial worries, or don’t even have to bother about it.
