@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 :-)
