Should I wait to continue on to graduate school?
I am currently in my last semester of my freshman year. The two graduate schools that I am considering are Harvard and the Lauder Institute at Wharton (UPenn). They are both close to $100,000 for a Master's Degree. How much financial aid does a graduate student recieve on average? If I don't have much money, would it be smart to wait? If I obtain employment after I recieve my bachelor's and work full-time, will be able to attend grad school full-time, as well?

- Working fulltime and being a fulltime student would be tough. Since you have some time, start looking at Graduate Assistantships and Fellowships at the grad programs you want to pursue. They usually provide full tuition scholarships plus a living stipend. That is what I did in grad school and didn't have to pay a dime for my degree. Good luck.
