Tuition increases, interest on loans, loan origination fees, 20K a year for rent+food, etc.kwabbs wrote:ManoftheHour wrote:Tiago Splitter wrote:as twenty said 300k in debt for a UCLA degree is an absolutely awful idea.
I'm having trouble understanding where the 300K numbers come from.. the website says 45,226 in state tuition.. x 3.. would only come out to 135,000.. is it 45 a semester not per year?
Also, under what circumstances would it be a good idea to ED for a school? If any..

Do GW and BU offer $$ to ED applicants?
Yep. Full scholarships

What school did you decide on? I'm not sold on staying in so cal.. Looking at Davis and am definitely interested in the Boston/ DC area.
Quick question to piggy back this thread. I have applied regular decision to BU, but did not know that their ED came with a full scholarship. Although I would likely just be rolled over to RD, do you know if it is possible to switch an app from RD to ED?twenty wrote:Obviously because they're full scholarships, admission under GWU/BU/NU's ED programs are substantially more competitive numerically than regular admissions. Regardless, more applicants should do this, and it's a shame they don't.
I mean this in this in the friendliest sense possible, but you should probably lurk more. Just browse the forums and become familiar with the subtopics and the terminology. That's going to be much more effective than you turning this thread into some kind of answerbot for random, unrelated questions.kwabbs wrote:In my opinion...? Another silly accronym on here lol

As long as the admissions office hasn't made a decision on your RD, and the deadline for ED hasn't passed, I see no reason why not. Contact them and ask for the binding ED form.WichitaShocker wrote:Quick question to piggy back this thread.

Thanks, that is pretty much what I figured. I will contact them Monday morning.twenty wrote:As long as the admissions office hasn't made a decision on your RD, and the deadline for ED hasn't passed, I see no reason why not.

Lol I'm very new to Internet forums and communities.. I try my best to stay off all my technology as much as possible.. No twitter or fb for me! TLS has definitely become an exception due to the mass amount of valuable info available! Maybe I'll look over that accronym guide on here a little more
and by not an issue, we really meant NOT an issue. As in you are a trust fund babyimKMart wrote:You'll find this site really helpful.
