Students. What is worse? Getting Rejected or Accepted but too expensive?

You can always do the albatross like burden of taking out student debt you will repay for 20 years with an acceptance.

But for some, that kind of choice can be a trap, leading to the situation of huge debt, no money, and no degree, due to being forced to drop out because one ran out of money and borrowing capacity.
