@Eve: Incredible choices!! You will do amazingly wherever you go <3

WaterBottle

21:37

I didn't! I was really fortunate that they offered to do a virtual interview with me, but I was really sad about not being able to visit in person

WaterBottle

21:38

@Eve: Do you have until tomorrow to accept the Levy?

Eve

21:38

Oh wow. Well congrats on SLS! You'll do amazing things there <3

WaterBottle

21:39

Thank you! Congrats to you too and good luck on making your choice!

FabulousLightFly

21:40

Hi everyone. Sorry I know this is a bit random considering the convo!! and congrats to all of you! I am so happy for everyone finally getting to make their decisions and getting to attend such amazing programs. Out of curiosity, does anyone know when we can expect a Fordham A round or a Miami A round? I feel like I have been waiting for weeks and weeks and have seen a lot of WL and R but not A waves. Thoughts?

Eve

21:41

@WaterBottle: Yup until tomorrow!

Eve

21:41

Stressing so much about the choice

Pongleton

21:45

that was me this morning with the toll @eve

Pongleton

21:45

it's not a fun one, if you need to lean on someone I gotchu <3 completely understand the stress

WaterBottle

21:48

@Pongleton: By any chance did you use the toll to negotiate with SLS finaid? Do u have discord btw lol

Pongleton

21:50

@WaterBottle: nah since SLS is just need I didn't see the point and yes I do! it's pongleton (same as here)

Eve

21:54

@Pongleton: What did you decide?

Pongleton

21:56

@Eve: after some tears and a good amount of spreadsheeting/anxiety, I ended up turning down Penn... been a dream to go to SLS for a while and want to "bet on myself" to use my mentor's words :-)

Eve

21:56

@Pongleton: I like that

Eve

21:57

I'm assuming you're going sticker?

Eve

21:57

That's my consideration with HLS

Pongleton

21:59

still waiting on financial aid! but upon initial conversations I'd be taking out $170k. so I did a lot of worst case scenarios about salaries/LRAP/ what it would look like to pay it off this morning and decided I can live with those worst-case (and unlikely) options so it seems worth it

Pongleton

21:59

plus if I get super freaked I have the KD in my back pocket for another week

Pongleton

21:59

like u with CEHS

Eve

22:00

@Pongleton: CEHS already expired lmao. But realistically if I choose HLS now that's my final decision unless UChicago gives me a Ruby or I hear back from YLS.

Pongleton

22:02

ohhh gotcha! one other thing is I figured I'm most likely going to be median wherever I go. And I'm more risk-averse than debt-averse, so want to give myself my best shot to chase any crazy dreams I come up with and it seems like H/S would allow that a bit more than Penn

Eve

22:03

Agreed. And part of my rationalization for HLS is that when I’m years into my career making good money, I would look back wondering why I stressed so much over this decision that I paid back relatively quickly.

Pongleton

22:03

like if you have any unique or secret goals that would be your big passion if they happened, I think it's worth it to make that bet and give yourself the chance. as my lovely pal geauxblue said "dreams are worth a lot"

Eve

22:04

And that that money really isn’t much in the grand scheme of things. And to fulfill that life-long dream we both have of SLS/HLS might be worth that.

Eve

22:04

That’s very true.

Pongleton

22:06

I'd definitely recommend looking at what your monthly loan repayment would be after HLS and maybe doing like a spreadsheet/budget. that helped me a lot this morning to kind of make a fake plan with different salaries and go through the whole process of making a monthly budget while paying off loans/using LRAP/not using LRAP/ etc. Clarifying the "what-ifs" really really helped (and seeing that I CAN live comfortably -albeit a bit tight - even when paying off the loans)

Pongleton

22:09

Also might be worth sitting in both the decisions for a bit of time. like split the evening (or split tonight/tomorrow, not sure when your deadline is) to "commit" yourself to both options internally. do a little play pretend of what life would look like/what classes you'd take/etc. and see how you feel with that decision "made"... might maybe help to provide clarity about which option feels best?

Pongleton

22:15

good luck with making the choice <3 I'm sure you'll make the best decision for yourself & feel free to message me on discord (if you have it) (@pongleton) if you wanna chat it out any more :-)
