Big in the belly???? Negative.
Duke is awesome, but I'm trying to sort out this financial aid and third year stuff. As you know, I asked about the whole MBA thing ... for certain reasons I prolly can't stay at Duke for this time... anyways, I was told that no out-of-duke MBAs have been approved in recent time to take the place of Fuqua, but people have been going to other universities for MPH or JDs (JHU and Yale, specifically). This worries me .... earlier today, I found out that IF this was approved (big if, apparently) then I would still pay 3rd year duke tuition and tuition to random MBA school (whomever is dumb enough to admit me) simultaneously. This made my mouth water ... the thought of taking out 80,000 dollars in loans in one academic year, 35,000 of those at the market rate (by far the most desired loan available). Since Im prolly gonna have to borrow the full cost of my attendance, this double-up-on tuition deal combined with the uncertainty of being able to leave Duke to pursue this degree are really important considerations...
