Speechless

Anderson just showed me the money. $30K in total ($15K for 1st year, $15 for 2nd year).

Wow. Just....wow. Considering I'm a CA resident, that is a substantial chunk of the expense. Thank god I have an office, because I'm a mess right now. Called my mom, crying and hyperventilating.

I have to accept by March 1st. Not sure what this means for my outstanding apps (W/Chi), and McCombs is most likely out of the running at this point. I need to think.

Classy, not quite. Their student budget for CA residents is $46K/yr, with $21K of that being tuition. It used to be a bigger differential betweeen in-state/out-of-state (like $15K vs $31K), but the state's current financial situation has resulted in tuition increases.

It still rocks!

That's great news! I'm so happy for you. And you deserve it. Sounds like they really want you. I know the money is a big deal.... but I would suggest that you consider which school is really best for you and not let the money buy you. Just my two cents... and don't in anyway want to belittle the great news you got today.
