It's a wonder people like you have survived on your own up to this point. Or maybe you haven't without the parental teet.

Okay come on now. That's super unnecessary.

Whatever money your parents have set aside for your education, I would use them to buy house upon graduation, and go to UVA for free. Too many people make so dumb financial decision and suffer after school. If you don't want to be that one, take UVA.

That's a good question. Can you use this money for something else? If so, I'd definitely take UVA up on the offer and let that extra money sit for a few years. You'll be in fantastic shape then.

Money that parents save for education is not the property of the child. Perhaps the parents have other things they will do with the money, other than for the sole purpose of education. It is not entitled money. It is within the parent's discretion.

I'd be curious to hear the Penn story.

How bad do you want HYS or CCN James? Would you regret it if you didn't attend one of them?

That's what I'm trying to figure out, basically if the security of HYSCCN (for someone who is KJD without a finance background or something like that) is worth waiting out a year or just taking lower T14 and hoping I'm at or above median

@education money, yeah it's not a pile of cash just some of whatever savings they have and then are able to contribute during the three years

You already had N and let the NYU offer go. Do you regret that action?

Is there anything else you want to do with your life? Backpack SE Asia, work at a coffee shop and bum around for a year? Now is your time to do that.

? Right....That's why I asked the question. I don't know the relationship between OP and his parents. If this is a trust fund for him that they're going to give him regardless, then he should think about this stuff.

Yeah I was trying to get that, but then they wouldn't even offer me a 2/3 scholly they just said there wasn't anything..


Don't you have a Dillard to fall back on? I don't see why this complaining is necessary on multiple Penn threads...just say screw it and move on my friend

Because the guy said he'd let me know today, had previously offered me a ~100k scholly, and then never called today, wasn't even in the office when I called, and thrn they told me they had nothing and wouldn't extend the deadline at all.

Seriously very unprofessional and rude by Penn, I don't think I'm in the wrong by being upset about this. I don't get why they would accept me right near the deadline and then throw me under the bus, would rather have been YPed instead.

ETA: didn't mean to post in multiple threads, accidentally posted here first, so actually didn't try to sound as much as a drama queen

Dude, are you posting his PMs? Don't.

[Mal Reynolds]

No post more pms. It's not like that's against the rules. This dude is a joke.

Relax guys it's just selections from his posting history

K fair enough.

Though I do think there is some unnecessary hostility towards OP here. I get it, but there are far-far worse out there ...

This is a horrible argument.

I'm just sick of the asinine choosing threads. The idea that another school at sticker would beat a Dillard is patently ridiculous, maybe this guy didn't need three pages of snark to tell him so, but come on.

Not trying to pour it on the OP, but come on, seriously? You have a named scholarship at a T-10 school and seem to think you're entitled to just about whatever school and $ amount you see fit. If the best $ outcome at a school isn't good enough for you just don't bother applying. You keep mentioning HYSCCN but you turned down NYU already. I just don't get what you were hoping for out of this thread.

Oh I remember that. You're still worthless. That's a shocker. I don't know why you had to screen cap that.
