Hm. So somebody graduating from MIT and planning to go on to a prestigious grad school for engineering isn’t going to pay tuition?

It still stands that I think 80K+ debt from undergrad is too much. People do it, but…it’s not really a smart decision. And again I say especially if you are going to grad school, 1 because it can increase your debt and 2 I firmly believe that if you are admitted to MIT as an undergrad you can gain admission to its grad school if you continue working hard. So why waste the money? For the “experience”? 150K for that is just sad.
