so, i have a funded phd offer from a univeristy X with a decent stipend and i also have an offer of admission from Cornell in the Meng program. The total cost of the Meng program is around $67000 and i can pay the amount without taking a loan etc. My question is, "Is the Meng program worth spending $67000? Do you know any alumni from the program and how well they fared after graduation?"
