My parents really do’nt have the money for it. But what you said about grad school not being another expense is very good news!

I have thought about loans, and that was the question. Is it worth the debt? I ran the numbers a while ago, and it could take 8-12 years to pay off once I start making payments, depending off course on income, interest, etc. So that’s getting ahead of myself, saying how long, but it would be quite a while.

As far as possibly getting more need based aid than none (EFC was ~60k and a load of lies) if accepted, do you know any cases where that happened to someone with similar situation to me? I’m the third child in college, and the youngest of the three. The eldest already graduated UGA and is applying to grad schools for next year (currently he’s working and self supporting).
