Accepted: Columbia University (newspaper specialisation)
Waitlisted: Nowhere (Didn't apply anywhere)
Undergrad: India
GPA: Don't know what it would be in the Indian context
I only applied to Columbia because it was the only J-school to figure in the Ivy League. Have 5 years of experience in print journalism. Am pretty much set on it but the cost is a big hindrance. Am waiting for my scholarship decisions and then will have to see. Ivy Leagues come with an 'Ivy League' price tag, i guess. But most of the people i have talked to advice me to go for it but it is worth it. But not sure if getting a debt of $75,000 is worth it in the end...
Imagine spending the rest of your life repaying the loan. Does anyone here know anyone who has been to Columbia? Would like to know how it is, what to expect, job prospects.
All the best to all of you
