[Don't take on debt]

I can only speak for my experience, but word of advice:

> went to a top school

> "a graduate degree from Princeton/Yale, what could go wrong."

> more than half the class can't get jobs in the field.

 > reminds me of everything I read about law school, turns out the stats are quite similar (and similarly doctored)

> realize half the class is just there to fund the program

> they actually paid students to post on these forums and help recruit

 

Also, everything you learn you could teach to yourself with an internet connection and a decent amount of drive. 

 

Save your money if you don't get a good offer. I wish I had.
