I start Non-matriculated graduate classes on August 25th. I get no aid and am paying for it myself. With straight cash that I've earned in my year out of college. Feeling kinda uneasy about it. I'm about to pay 3,000 dollars to take classes that probably won't count towards my real graduate program. 3,000 for acouple letters of recommendation....I don't know...I'll probably feel better about it once I start.
