I am panicking about the amount of loans I will have to take out for the private DPT program that I was accepted to. I did not have to take out loans for undergrad, so the 150k ish in loans is really scary to me. (I did not apply in state- long story)
I'm almost wondering if I should wait... and reapply and see if I can get into an in state school, where I could go for less than 40k.
The risks I would take are that:
1) I may not be able to get into the instate school
2) I may not be able to get back into the private school (where I am already accepted and like the program and the location, but the loans scare me). Would the fact that I turn them down hurt me if I decide to reapply after giving in state tuition a chance?
Any advice is appreciated. I have read the forums and read about debt/tuition costs/whether its worth it to go into debt that much vs. staying out of school one more year.... etc. Thanks in advance. . .
