If you had a chance to go to the school of your dreams, would you? Of course. Who wouldn't? The beginning of my dilemma.
Last year, I decided to pursue my masters. I applied to only three schools with a fervent hope of being accepted by one, Columbia University. I never cared as much about what school I attended when I decided on my undergrad and chose instead the school that gave me a full ride. However, after seeing my family graduate from great schools that challenged them academically, I realized that upon my return to school, I want the same challenge. And what better challenge than to do a masters program at an Ivy League school?
So now I have the acceptance. However, financial aid isn't giving much "aid". Most of it will come from alternative loans, which tend to have higher interests. The other school gave me a merit scholarship with a significant amount of money. :-\
What do I do?
