So I've
been wrestling with how to track my progress
here and still remain anonymous. I
need to look at how much my program costs
versus how much I have and track the
remainder (I hope) or the resulting debt.
If I put up my school's exact student budget
it will tell you which school I go to which
is a little too close to home for my
comfort. So I think I will take an average
of the
"top
5" MBA programs' costs and use that
instead. So my student budget for the
blog will be:
|
Top 5 Average
|
| Tuition
and Fees
|
$53,946
|
| Health
Insurance
|
$3,153
|
| Room and
Board
|
$21,088
|
| Books
and Supplies
|
$4,163
|
| Total
|
$82,349
|
It's not precise, but it's a
reasonable benchmark. When I get my
aid package I think I'll scale any grant
money I get based on how the average budget
compares to my actual student budget so the
remainder ends up the same. The cost
after aid is what is really important here
after all. Does that sound reasonable?

that's per year not for the whole degree!
ReplyDeleteAnonymous, you're right! It would be twice that much for the whole degree, close to $165,000. I'm taking it one year at a time.
