did you talk to pu dong development bank? i heard they have some very flexible personal loan terms, may worth a try. if taking a private loan is the last resort for you, find every refinancing opportunity when you get here.
columbia MBA is a very expensive overall package when you price in all the social and traveling expenses with your classmates. for 2 years you may be looking at a total of $220+k based on the current numbers, just to be modest.
and there's risk for the rates to go up in the next two years when you have no earning powers in school. as a reference, avg. libor in 2005 was 3.5% and 2007 was 5.5%. do the math in excel to see for yourself how that will impact your interest payments.
and no one can foresee what's happening in another 2 years. in 2006 the market was at its peak, but the class of 2008 MBAs probably worst regretted their decisions to go back to school in 2006.
by no means i am trying to scare you or discourage you. MBA is a big investment and how to finance it is a big question for many of us. you may take this as your first challenge into the real world. i'm just thinking your should consider all possible solutions before going to the private lender. it's a bloody robbery! |
