Is Harvard worth 80k in debt?

Here’s something else to consider if you really want to attend Harvard over all your other choices:

If you’re truly a STEM kid, and love neuroscience, to eliminate all med school debt, you could apply to MD/PhD programs. It will take you a couple of more years to complete your education, but you would go to med school for free.

If you decide you’d rather attend law school, if you have the high GPA (which would also be necessary for med school) and perform well on your LSAT (which presumably you would given you did on your high school standardized tests), you’ll likely get huge merit awards from T14 law schools outside of H,Y, P. For instance, Columbia Law is known for giving hefty merit to attract the best students, and it has excellent career placement.

Just something else to consider.
