Since it looks like I'm officially getting no funding from SIPA (MPA-DP) I'm now facing the possibility of taking out close to the full amount in loans. SIPA estimates 190K, including tuition and cost of living for the two years. I have some savings and can possibly work part time when I'm there, which will cut down that amount a little bit.
Is it common for people to go without funding? It's a great school but the price just seems insane.
