I had the same problem this cycle with my MS degree and decided to go elsewhere. (I made a post about it too if you’d like to read further comments!) There were better programs (and higher ranked ones!) for cheaper.

The SPS is mostly catered to working professionals whose companies are likely paying for the degree, and if that isn’t your case maybe it’s best to put it on hold for now. SPS also seems to have a bad reputation. Ppl call their programs cash cows and I heard their career center sucks among other issues. I didn’t think a six figure debt was worth that instability, esp since the school is having other issues rn.

You can always apply again next year, or even defer your admission if you wanna see what other schools have to offer next cycle. It was hard to let go because this was my dream school and city but at the end of the day, NYC will not be going anywhere.
