Again, I’m not 100% sure as to what I want to or what I will pursue, but I don’t want to pass up a possible incredible opportunity because of that - so that’s where my problem is as of now
OP, do your numbers in your OP include the cost for room and board? Have you asked your parents what they can afford to pay and then compared that to the projected bill each year?
But you will be passing up possible incredible opportunities at Tulane if you go to UMich. Right now, you don’t even know which school would benefit you more. But you are certain that you will have to take on a ton more debt if you go to UMich. Taking on the certain pain of a ton of debt for the uncertain benefit of maybe increased opportunities seems like folly to me.
@Erin’sDad - yes, the numbers include room & board
And @PurpleTitan - that is also a good way to look at it
