….was a really good choice. Elliott’s reputation and cachet and all that is great. But I’d still be paying down debt nearly 15 years on.
Plus, had I not gone to Pitt GSPIA, I never would’ve met my two mentors, one of whom is a former Tomcat pilot and UIUC grad. Previous Message
Like most schools they make it ridiculously convoluted to actually see the financial aid offer and their portal wasn’t working, so we aren’t sure if he got any need based aid from GW.
But unless he absolutely falls in love with them when we visit, and maybe even then, it’s going to be UMD. Previous Message
May the odds be ever in your favor.
