i felt the same way. I had always wanted to do this, and i had all the requirements, so im like "why not apply?" , i was accepted into 2 out of 4 schools and decided to go thru with it. I was asking myself the same thing, am i really giving up my 100k salary for 2.5 years, spend my life savings, and add a 60k loan on top of that? and study my ass off for hours while being HAZED constantly?! HELL YEA!!! im 26 yrs old, no kids, no debt, everything paid off. i have no reason NOT to do it. my suggestion to you is to look @ your situation and see if it fits your life right now. I havent actually started and i start next month, but ive been slowly mentally preparing myself for wwats about to happen. there are times i ask myself "am i really gonna do this?wat if i fail?!", then i remember a quote from THE OFFICE, "you miss 100% of the shots you DON'T take".
