Everyday???

[Squawks]

Yeah, you got me there. I only head out to LA a few times a year. Even the Viejas Indian casino is only about 30 minutes away but I go only once a year. I'm lame, dammit.

$20k a year for a private school is actually pretty cheap these days. You should take a look at what it costs to go to GW

Oh and before I forget here's my shout out to The University of Virginia. In-state tuition: $5500 per year.

[Squawks]

Cornell is paying me $25,800 a year, tuition covered, along with full health benefits, for the PhD program.

Wow, 5,500/yr? I am still in debt from undergrad loans

Actually, I just looked at the UVa website and in-state tuition is up to $7100 a year now. When I was there (class of 2004) there was a tuition freeze and it was stuck at $5500 the whole time I was there. Still not a bad deal for one of the best public schools in the country.

[Squawks]

Yeah, that's cheap - even at $7100. BTW - you're in the same class as me, hehe - '04, baby!

[CnoteMD]

All of this really makes me feel old. Over my 4 years of college, the costs ranged from $28-32K/year. I just checked out my school's webpage and now it costs $45K/year

I was fortunate to get out of undergrad only owing 1 year worth of expenses, but its all consolidated with grad loans.

[Squawks]

Nah, you shouldn't feel old. My history teacher back in highschool used to go to UC Berkeley paying only an odd amount of $75/quarter.

But geez, 45k/year is extremely costly - is this for an undergrad institution? For medical school that sounds cheap but undergrad? Wow.

Got another acceptance.. this time its York College. Part of the CUNY system

[BellasBmw]

Im confused.

Monmouth called me yesterday and told me that they want to see my spring grades. However, my grades dont come out till June. The other colleges want their acceptance by may 1st. The advisor told me that my admission wasnt "reversed" but they would like to see my spring grades. What does this mean, im in.. not in??.. As long as i pass my classes,.. she sort of confused me, i dontk now if i should still be excited or not.

[BellasBmw]

Now im super confused.. this sucks. They are my first choice, dont wanna reject the other schools and then in june, monmouth rejects me and i end up with no where to go. Is this standard procedure, my friends have all told me to not worry, im in.. just dont fail.

that means youre admitted but if you screw up your grades this semester, then they can revoke your acceptance.

thats what it means for me. so im pretty sure thats what they meant for you. call and ask to be sure good luck!

[magmd]

Just do well this term...you will have nothing to hide, and nothing to worry about. If you have an acceptance...then they need a good reason to go back on it.

Yeah, I don't think any school I considered up north was under $30k a year and most of them were not private.

isnt that beacuse you're out of state? if you're going out of state, you might as well go to a private school. going out of state to a public school isnt worth it in my opinion because youd be paying the same price for a private school education.

Yeah, well I lived in Connecticut so the only big state school is UConn (blah boring). The rest are Yale (I'm not that smart) and private liberal arts colleges (no business programs).

Schools down south are really really cheap and out-of-state at FAU I paid $15k/year and in-state I pay now $3k/year.

UCONN! my friend is a swimmer there. i love uconn. the boys there are gorgeous.

wow only 3k? thats really cheap. UCLA.. or any of the UCs cost like 8k tuition alone. that's not expensive.. but when you add on everything else liek room and board, it comes out to almost 20k a year. i think thats so expensivee. its likke buying a new car every year.

yep, when people ask me about my car i just tell them to enjoy their expensive education up north and leave me alone. i'll take my e90 and gorgous florida weather anyday. the school here isn't that bad, and it's not like employers really care where you went as long as it's a 4-yr school and you have decent grades. i'm not trying to get into law school or anything.

[BellasBmw]

Yea my dad was like $29k! ahhhhhh hes like well what is it for instate.. i said um no, its private. So no instate.

This is to combat "senioritis", and ensure that you work hard through your lame-duck schoolwork...

Which really means...as long as you don't SUCK, you should have no worries...

I gotcha.. So its normal for all colleges to do this. Basically saying dont give up cause your in, we may still take it away. Ok, i need to bust my ass this semester. But im taking Stats (AAAAAHHHHH), Poli Sci 2, Art History, and Geology.
