The saga

<p>I don’t know if any of you have been following this…</p>

<p>Anyway, the story is that I got into Columbia, but my parents told me a bit belatedly, after I got my hopes up, that they wouldn’t pay full freight for Columbia (which is the financial package we’re being offered).</p>

<p>However, it’s worked out for me. Not only did I get into NYU, but I got the largest scholarship they offered ($25k a year). I was very shocked about that one, and glad :). My parents have decided that that price is feasible. I’ll be going about $25k in debt, but the coolest thing is that my parents decided to pay up front for that, and have me pay them back, so my loan will be interest-free.</p>

<p>Thanks for all the comments on my previous posts… now I’m happy.</p>
