Just denied an Ivy League offer of admission
Just wanted to share on here because I’ve been incredibly sad about it. I dreamed of attending an Ivy League my entire life and missed the opportunity for undergrad. So I knew that for grad school I had to try to pursue it. I found the most amazing program more than a year ago and dedicated myself to studying EVERYTHING about it. I met with alumni, professors & even the director to try to gain insight to the program. I applied, got accepted and got a scholarship which felt like I was floating of happiness lol. I was so set on going to the program that common sense almost left my body and I was about to get $73k in student loans for a MS degree I can get anywhere else. So I just denied the offer and decided to pursue a great state university for $14k. Feeling so sad but I know I made the right decision. Just wanted to share in case anyone was feeling bad about denying an Ivy offer because of financial situations.
