What would you choose 1 million dollars or an admission to your dream college?

Applying to College
1

<p>so, which one would it be?</p>

2

<p>duh...one mil. baby, all the way</p>

3

<p>I'll take the million.</p>

4

<p>1 million and then go to a public university and work my way up. Seriously this is a no brainer</p>

5

<p>million...but below $300k or so its a diff story</p>

6

<p>the million...then attend my dream school. (nice donation to the school)</p>

7

<p>The million, and then I'd go off to California anyway and study at my second-choice college. :)</p>

8

<p>So 1 million after taxes..........compared to 7 years@$60,000. one could actually call this even.....</p>

9

<p>Are you kidding???</p>

10

<p>1 million, easy</p>

<p>I'd go to a public univ. like UCONN and pay it off immediately. Then I could use the remaining cash to help myself move forward.</p>

11

<p>1 million, invest (some of) it, and enjoy life, forget the books.</p>

12

<p>1 million and then try to win the lottery with it.</p>

13

<p>1 million..</p>

14

<p>everyone is going to think this sounds stupid, but Id much rather get into my top school. money to me is nothing unless ive earned it.</p>

15

<p>But what if you can't afford your top school?</p>

16

<p>lollipop, you'd take admission you didn't earn though?</p>

17

<p>You could buy your way in with the $1 mill.</p>

18

<p>I don't think so........</p>

19

<p>I'd take the million. Even if I did get into my top-choice school, I couldn't afford it. Then I'd pay for my second choice with the money ;-).</p>

20

<p>i'd actually take the top school (assuming you can only have one or the other, not both). as long as i deserved it though..either way i'd feel somewhat guilty... i guess if i worked really hard and got the grades, i'd feel that i deserved the dream college education, but not the million dollars. </p>

<p>anyhow, if i went to a place like yale, i'd (hopefully!) be financially secure for the rest of my life ;)</p>
