UVA 200k debt??
Hi y’ll,
I’m an international student, currently a freshman at Arizona State University pursuing computer science. I was admitted to the university of Virginia college of arts and sciences as a transfer sophomore with no scholarship. I’m interested in consulting/investment banking as well as software engineering.
ASU - 20,000 tuition plus living around 10-15,000 yearly
UVA - 50,000 tuition plus living around 10-15,000 yearly
Furthermore , I gave 6 APs so I have around 23 transferred credits at ASU, helping me to graduate in another 2 years instead of 3 and saving me another 30 grand. In short I’m paying an additional 60 grand to graduate from ASU in 2 years and have to pay 170 grand to graduate from UVA in 3 years. I’ve already paid 35 grand to ASU.
I do plan on applying to Mcintire school of commerce (UVA undergrad business school) as a third year student which has 63 percent acceptance rate and places well into top firms (according to my research).
Is paying around 170 grand for UVA tag worth it and will it pay in the long run or should I stick to ASU and forget about the prestige or think about going to a top school for masters or MBA?
UVA is a good school, stronger than AssU
Take UVA
It all depends on if your dad is a winner or loser.
If you can afford it go for it, but being an international student with 6 figure debt might not be a good idea (if you can't secure sponsorship, good luck paying it back).
I was also an international student, but luckily my parents could pay for my education in cash, so no Loans.
