Financial Aid

Wow, school is expensive. Duh--I knew this, but now I really know it. This year's cost of attendance (tuition + living) is higher than originally estimated by the school, plus I'm not even sure if I can really live off of what'll be left over. So I might have to borrow even more. Yikes.

Thinking of it all as one large sum is rather scary, yes. And thinking about the interest I'll accrue over the 10+ years to pay it off...even scarier. But maybe I should choose to think about it as a small monthly fee that I'll just have to pay for the rest of my life. That's not so bad, right? Ha...ha...

I need scholarships.

i had a similar realisation when i saw the final price list. it indeed is costly - hopefully everything will work out and we will be able to pay back our loans easily. of course, scholarships would be the best thing :)

As a resource for future MBA candidates, I was wondering if you'd be interested in linking to Manhattan GMAT (http://www.manhattangmat.com) or the Manhattan GMAT blog (http://www.manhattangmat.com/blog/)
