<p>So after started this thread I just wanted it to end… but I’m bringing it back.</p>
<p>I just heard I got into Cornell AEM also. Does this change anything? </p>
<p>Like someone earlier in the thread mentioned, getting into a top MBA program is not an easy thing to do and it costs about 2/3 to 3/4 of what I’d pay for undergrad at Cornell. However, the fact that if I fail, I won’t bring my parents down with me is really appealing to me. Also, I’m doing engineering at my current school and if I live modestly and work for a few years, maybe (hopefully) ~120k won’t sound so bad.</p>
<p>Both my parents and people on Wallstreetoasis are strongly encouraging me to go for Cornell and suck it up and pay the debt, and while half of me wants to go that route, about 150k in debt is as ridiculously scary to me as it is to you guys.</p>
<p>I don’t know if there’s anything more to be said - at this point it’s just a decision I have to make, right? So uh basically, Cornell’s not worth it either, right? or wrong?</p>
