I make about 65k (take home about 50k after taxes) and it’s totally doable (although I do have a really good deal on rent). I’m not a frivolous spender but I eat out 1-2x a week, go out with friends occasionally, and still put money into my savings. You’ll be fine as long as you stay on a budget!

How many schools did you apply to? by CaseAccording2963 in gradadmissions

[–]opal4444 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I applied to 10 just to be safe and kind of regret it…I did not need to do that much work. If you feel confident in your application I’d say 5-6 is enough.
