    I know, but I just did a payment calculator on 100,000 in loans for 20 years, and it was $750/month! How do you ever afford to buy a house, or have a life with that kind of payment??? Well i guess...

    Very humbling! I was rejected from University of Southern Maine, so I was convinced there was no way I was getting into Columbia. I think that's why it was such a shock. I am psyching myself to get...

    freyalisa replied to jcarranz5's topic in Post Graduate Students

    I don't know - it was pretty torturous to get the email saying yay, then the second email saying NO that was a mistake, and then thinking you had to wait until the next day! Awful. I'm sorry...
