<p>As an out of state student, we haven’t received much financial aid. How did other middle class out of state students pay? Just take loans and work on scholarships? Also, with a ~biology major, how quickly could I land a job after graduation (on average) and what would be my starting salary (this would be in conjunction with grad school)?</p>
<p>As a private school, Emory’s cost of attendance and financial aid are independent of state residency (with the exception of Georgia HOPE, a relatively small scholarship provided by the state of Georgia to residents). Usually, students and their families pay for about a third of college with savings, a third while they’re in college (with current earnings), and a third later (through loans).</p>
<p>Biology is not a particularly employable major regardless of where you go to school. What kind of jobs/grad schools are you interested in?</p>
