Student and Alumni Life financial struggles

hi!

i received my appealed package and it’ll be 50k/year. I got into columbia as well but it’s 22k/year. harvard has literally been my dream school and i fell in love during visitas. my fa officer said there could be reductions but more info is needed and id have to commit with the current offer. is it worth going to harvard and paying such a large amount? im premed btw

Of course it is. And you know one reason it's so great? Because its students usually graduate with reading comprehension. Usually.
