Maybe this is a silly question, but what is a normal/"appropriate" amount of debt? My napkin math says that even with fully-funded tuition and a decent housing stipend, I'll still need about $13,000 a year to live on in a major city. Is ~$30,000 an "ok" amount of debt?

I love your username. It's probably my favorite catchphrase.

Come on HKS, come on!

My patience expires tomorrow

Waitlist posting tomorrow, some random filler on Monday, admitted posting on Tuesday and results on Wednesday

I have one now too, also last name R.

I had my interview yesterday and wasn't told anything in regards to when things may be completed on the admissions side. 
I still think this week may be too tight a turn around given that HKS has changed the FA timeline. I received notification that I was a finalist last week. I don't know where CPL is in regards to the other fellowships, but there were members of my panel who would probably be present on the panels of every interviewee. 
Finally, I haven't checked my FA portal today, but last I did there was no counselor assigned. Obviously if I luck into admission AND receive a fellowship, my FA situation would be much different than someone who received no aid, for instance. So what I would say is there are a bunch of factors behind why someone may not be "assigned" a counselor. I also know that Matt and his team really value the integrity of this process. I HIGHLY doubt he would let something like this slip up on his end, which could obviously point one way or another to admission. 

Good morning everyone! Certainly not expecting a decision today but maybe we'll all be surprised.
