Hey all.
I'm really in a funk right now and could use some advice. I got an extension from Chapman, but I need to submit a decision by Thursday. I received my financial aid offer a few days ago, and Chapman has only given me loans. No scholarship or award money, which I was really bummed about after hearing from so many local people about how generous Chapman is with financial aid (apparently, only for undergrad). I'm really stressed about taking on over 100k in debt, and wondering if I should wait and apply again next year. I also contacted the financial aid and Dodge offices about TA and work study opportunities. Apparently Chapman doesn't really have graduate TAs. So, that's another plan of mine completely shot down.
Is Chapman worth it? Am I digging myself into a huge hole if I go? Has anyone graduated from Chapman with solid job opportunities? Not everyone will end up being the Duffer brothers, I know.
TL;DR Super depressed and stressed out about not getting the financial aid I hoped for. Is Chapman worth it?
