I got into an MBA program recently at my alma mater. I initially got a 10,000 scholarship. Then they bumped it up to 20,000 and I sent my thousand dollar desposit in...

Now that I got in I am depressed and anxious. I am not sure really if it is what I want to do. I am afraid of taking two years off and going into debt. I am not sure if I can sit in a classroom now again. I am also concerned about my depression and anxiety flaring up during that time, and that would be an expensive mistake to make if I flop out because of issues. Plus as I said, I am not sure if it is what I want to do. I think I would be happy with just your average job. It is safer...

Now I am considering backing out. I have till August. Worst case scenario I just don't show up and I won't be billed. I am confused and depressed..

Anyone offer up any assistance as to what its like to go through a grad program with bipolar/adhd?

look at the terms of the scholarship, if they are like the ones i get a texas tech, then u must take a minimum # of hours, but other than that you don't have to pay back the money. I don't know how much grad school cost but i would assume its around 5 grand a semester going full time. So you would have 10 grand left for living expences, ect. I would say this would be a good time to do one of those jobs everyone wants to do but wouldn't because it doesn't pay very much, or a job where you can study. You probably won't have an extravagant life style but you will get through school. if the scholar ship is renued annually i think this is an option.


ask yourself why you are going to grad school.
for your job
parents
yourself because you want to

i'm sorry i can't realy answer what it is like to go through grad school with bypolar, but hopefuly i gave you another perspective on it.

Ask your self why you want to do it or not do it. Is it just to get a high-pay job? I began an MBA last year. The first session wasn't to be and I just dropped one course. I took only two courses in the summer and I did ok. The next session has been terrible and I had to drop most of my courses. I got a medical ticket to push back some exams. I decided to not continue. It's a lot of work. Some courses were terribly boring (ex: accounting).

I began a MBA to reoriented my career away from programming. I did it for the wrong reason without really knowing what I want to do.

Hard to succeed with ADD if your heart isn't in it, man.

First of all Congrats on your MBA acceptance!

I have aspirations of grad school myself. I want to go to a finance PhD program, and become a finance professor.

I'm doing undergrad research (out of class) for the past year, and have been having out of class "sessions" with professors on advanced concepts that can last up to two hours. So I think I may have some advice for you.
