[quote=Anonymous][quote=sparky][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Have the RD decisions  come out yet? Why not wait until you hear a decision answer from Chicago?

But really getting deferred ED from Chicago  may be a blessing in disguise. If you are already in at UVA and money is not an Issue, I say go there. Chicago would be 3x the cost and a divorce may muddy the financial waters as well over the next year. If so, you can apply for Aid at UVa which would be easier for years 2-4. And possibly take classes at nova cc. [/quote]

I'm an Echols scholar, so I'll probably graduating in 2~3 years max. I have always wanted to go to Chicago and [b]I don't care that much about paying 100000 off later [/b](plan on going onto a high paying job; investment banking)[/quote]

"I don't care much about paying 100000"

- you can plan all you want about a high paying job, but that is a serious amount of debt.

Here's what you know about yourself: 1) when you were 17, you handled pressure poorly, acted out and made your troubles worse, and undermined any opportunities for better recs..  2) you have no plan for your gap year. 3) You don't have much money.

I don't hold out much hope that this gap year will achieve miracles.

Sounds to me like you should just go to UVA.  UC will still be there for grad school.  I truly hope you weren't expecting your poor mom to cosign those loans.[/quote]

Money isn't a concern here. My mom's family is pretty well off[/quote]

Really? Your first sentence sounds like someone about to take out loans.

You sound insufferable. I dont think you have the maturity for an aimless gap year.[/quote]
