One of my options just offered me a sizable scholarship to attend. Although I feel very honored and appreciative, this is unfortunate because I do not want to attend the school. It was originally a “fall back,” but after going there for my interview I felt very uncomfortable with the program.
Compared to an option I actually want to attend, the scholarship brings the “total cost” of attendance down to match. But the difference in cost of tuition between the two options is sizable, especially with the scholarship. When everything is said and done, the school I have the scholarship for is 37k less in tuition, but with estimated fees and cost of living the total costs of the two schools match.
So I guess in the end...is the tool accurate? Is there some sort of financial advisor I should speak to?
