<p>CollegeXC1993, perhaps you’re right but privates typically offer substantial merit-based aid to help bridge that gap. The 60-80k figure was assuming that a person didn’t have any $ saved up and would be repaying everything themselvess. I also didn’t take interest into account. And yeah sylvan8798, one of my friends is in a similar situation with the COA of Fordham University and another SUNY being relatively similar. </p>
<p>Can student loans from undergrad be deferred until past medical school? Assuming interest is paid on them that is. </p>
<p>I’ve heard nothing but great things about Geneseo and the other SUNYs that I’ve been accepted to, but is a sticker price of 80k(the majority being in the form of loans) really worth it for me? That’s what’s truly gnawing at me right now.</p>
