MRA

I'm so nervous...still no word on my Rutgers MCRP application and I'm at the edge of my seat waiting to hear about financial aid from UT and Rutgers. Anyone else in the same boat?

Rutgers MCRP is wrapping up decisions today/Monday. Funding coming March 15-30.

NYU is still a fantastic school that will take you places - especially if the program checks all your boxes! If you want to work in research and academia, maybe Harvard will give you a leg up at the start of your career, but you'll quickly find many of your peers and superiors didn't go to ivies and aren't in as much debt. Save yourself the stress of debt. You'll feel so free once you're working and able to save for a house/go on fun trips/live it up at bars/go to Whole Foods or whatever other fancy grocery store rather than stress about money because you have $40k and compounding interest hanging over your head.

UT Austin, University of Toronto, and UVA seem to be out now!

Georgia Tech came out a few weeks ago (pending funds). I'm also waiting to hear back from Rutgers (my friend was accepted last week), though I did get into their MPP program. I'm also waiting on UT. Fingers crossed!
