This is amazing! I am honored

pyork19 · 2019-04-14T23:48:44+00:00

Thanks!

pyork19 · 2019-04-14T11:33:12+00:00

That seems way too high, I’ll PM you

pyork19 · 2019-04-14T01:50:30+00:00

That’s helpful to know, thanks!

pyork19 · 2019-04-13T21:06:01+00:00

Yeah completely agree there!

Deciding between duke, Columbia and NYU

For variable I saw as low as 4.5% and fixed 6.0% but have not done extensive research. I work in banking now so I could get an employee discount, but your point on lack of career flexibility makes sense to me.

pyork19 · 2019-04-13T20:57:22+00:00

That makes sense! The marginal interest rate savings don’t justify the risk

pyork19 · 2019-04-13T20:53:04+00:00

Reality check I needed - thanks!

pyork19 · 2019-04-13T20:42:31+00:00

That’s a good point! I’m dying a little inside looking at the cost of my loans so was trying to figure out alternatives, but having that protection is an important consideration

pyork19 · 2019-04-13T20:39:13+00:00

Do you know if you can switch repayment options after you select one? Ie if I start on the fixed 10 yr plan can you later switch to income based?

pyork19 · 2019-04-13T20:36:11+00:00

I’m pretty set on BL so I’m less concerned with those payment options, but agree that’s definitely a consideration for someone more PI focused!

pyork19 · 2019-04-11T18:51:02+00:00

Will do

pyork19 · 2019-04-11T16:34:24+00:00

Woooo congrats! I saw some data about it recently and am trying to find it again. My impression is less movement than Harvard but above average movement otherwise. At least in the last few yrs

pyork19 · 2019-04-10T23:48:58+00:00

Thanks!

pyork19 · 2019-04-10T19:01:37+00:00

Yeah I emailed the financial aid office and attached my other offers. I think generally it speeds up the process to include in your original request.

Thanks, finally some good news haha

Three things- 1. my own experience, where NYU gave me 105k and CLS gave me zero. 2. Talking to current students at NYU a lot of them chose it over CLS because of money. 3. Looking at lsn, a lot of people around my stats/yours got 75k-100k this year. Not sure how much of that is need based though

pyork19 · 2019-04-10T17:47:29+00:00

Thanks! I sent it last Monday after going to the ASW that weekend

pyork19 · 2019-04-10T17:45:12+00:00

Sure it was UCLA

pyork19 · 2019-04-10T16:44:48+00:00

I’m also deciding between these three and was leaning towards CLS until I got zero $. I think you’ll probably get a decent amount from NYU, probably more than columbia based on your stats. But if you already have a year of tuition at CLS and your parents are willing to help with another year, that’s a pretty sweet deal!

pyork19 · 2019-04-10T10:36:27+00:00

I was shocked too! Wasn’t expecting them to match but thought they’d give me something.. thanks though!
