i dont want to quote City High, but....
what would you do?
the scenario: going back to school, not for a degree, but to complete requirements to get into grad school (in this case medical school).
so let's say you got into a school that's decent, and CHEAP. CHEAPEST. so cheap, you won't end up in horrific debt.
let's say you also applied to a school that's 100 times better, but EXPENSIVE (and you think you have a shot at actually getting in). so expensive you think you may end up choking from all the debt.
you've dreamt about going to this amazing school since you first decided to go BACK to school. you fell victim to it's organized website, it's pretty colors, and, of course, the fact that it's one of the best (and don't forget dollar dollar bill grubbing) schools in the country.
what would you do? is it worth it? i mean, it's not like you're going back to get a BS from this place. you're simply completing the requirements you didn't do while at your original (and also FANTASTIC and EXPENSIVE) undergrad institution.
so the question is, is one great school enough? or are you so much of an elitist that you need to go to the best schools, all the time, even if it means owing everyone money forever? or are you simply rationalizing going to the less expensive school because you're scared you'll do terrible at the better school (or, GASP, maybe you wont even get in!)?
just wondering.
