How much credit card debt do you have?

Situation:
You’ve been accepted to an Ivy League 2 year premed program (Harvard, Columbia, UPenn) costing 20k per semester. Currently, you have no student debt, only went to state school for undergrad, and strongly dislike the work you’ve been pigeon-holed into at 2YOE (risk). You have also decided to prob not become a doctor although being interested in the sciences.
Would you still attend the program? Would it help with MBA/other program? Chances of successfully recruiting out if not for u?

I am almost 23 and don’t know much about the investment and savings vehicles/strategies that I should be using. IRAs, Roth IRA’s, long-term investments, how much I should be contributing/saving for financial success, etc. Any suggestions? I currently have $4,000 in savings, and a few thousand sitting in checking that I use regularly but try to not spend too much. Rent is $1600. Likely looking to go to grad school in the next 2-3 years.

Salary: $86,000/yr (~5000 a month take home)
City: NYC

Record billables over the year and a half have shown that associates are indefinitely more efficient working at home. If you want me to come to the office, lower your billable expectation or pay me more. Simple economics. We have leverage, let’s exert it here.
