Do they know that this could easily be $100,000 a year at NYU…or Northwestern (when you add in mandatory health insurance, travel, etc)?
I’m not sure living where Northwestern is located will be a lot less costly than living in NYC. A little less, but it’s not like there will be a huge reduction in costs. The greater Chicago area has gotten pricey as well.
Please do a chance me/match me thread which will give much more comolete information. For all we know, you are or aren’t a competitive international applicant at either of these colleges.
