[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP I am really worried about the impact that posting here will have on your mental health. And for what? You're not going to get clear advice here anyway.

As you see, people here are saying totally contradictory things and projecting themselves on you. You need real conversations and real support from real people.

I come from a very similar background as you and have had very similar experiences and struggles. Also worked as a college admissions consultant helping students get into top (and not-so-top) colleges. I've been poor and rich and seen it all.

[b]I know the debt is not worth it. Don't let your parents' toxicity mess with your head. Don't let the idiots on this board mess with your head. [/b]Remember that everyone has a bias, but it's hard to fully see that bias when it's just a message on an anonymous board. [/quote]

Holy shit, it's terrifying that someone as ignorant as you as a college admissions consultant. PP, you fully KNOW that a Columbia degree will pay off dividends for the rest of OP's life, especially as she's a second-gen Asian immigrant. That's the only reason why you're even in business as a college admissions consultant -- parents KNOW that an Ivy degree is invaluable in the job market.

OP, do NOT listen to PP. Either she's not really an admissions consultant, or if she is, she's a really bad one. $80k in debt is LITERALLY NOTHING (like, literally peanuts) for a Columbia degree. Anyone who tells you otherwise is financially illiterate. Stay at Columbia NO MATTER WHAT! Even if you want to go into Morningside Park alone at night. [/quote]
