<p>Sybbie, thank you, those links were really helpful. </p>
<p>One of the problems I see with these programs, for people NOT going to Top 25, is that the tier beneath that, including say Fordham and BC, are oriented towards jobs in NYC or Boston. Running throught the calculators, it seemed that the “poverty level” is computed nationwide, not locally. Thus these programs seem MUCH less helpful for the Fordham or BC grads who will be practicing in NYC or Boston than say the U of Georgia grad who might be practicing in suburban Atlanta. </p>
<p>When I put in hypothetical numbers, it really doesnt seem to help potential grads who will be working in high cost areas that much.</p>
