If you want in, unfunded, it's a $50k/yr commitment and if you can't throw down $5k to secure your spot, they have plenty of other rich folks waiting in the wings to take the spot instead. Unfunded applications are very different from funded ones. Unfunded means they don't think you're worth funding, but if you really want a degree with their name on it you can happily cough up the cash... and they will happily take it. | |
