Grad shcools. OMG. accepted to:

u of chicago
u of m (twin cities)
2004 USNews rankings for policy analysis:
4. Carnegie Mellon University (PA)
7. University of Chicago
18. University of Southern California (ranked 7th last year)
20. University of Minnesota-Twin Cities
and social policy:
7. University of Chicago
13. University of Southern California
15. Carnegie Mellon University (PA)
21. University of Minnesota-Twin Cities
colorado isn't ranked, but still in top 15% worldwide. it also offers me in-state tuition and an accelerated program (if i choose) that could get me in and out in 12 months.
tuition is fairly constant in terms of what i've been offered - merit scholarships have evened out the private school costs. nobody's shown me financial aid. although i hate suggesting that this is a small sum of money, tuition only fluctuates by three or four thousand a year - not much at all on the big scale. i think cost goes like this, low to high:
1. u of colorado
2. usc
3. carnegie
4. u of m
5. u chicago. oh my god. it costs as much per semester as it would per year at usc. heart attack now please.
of course, u of m tends to give you the teaching deal which means it could possibly cost nothing. any of them could. carnegie and colorado amp up the internship part of the learning.
minnesota's public policy:
The Gerald R. Ford School of Public Policy ranked 8th as measured in the U.S. News umbrella category of public affairs, while the Ford School ranked 3rd among schools doing public policy analysis, and was in the top five in three substantive fields, including a second-place ranking in social policy.
and here's some locations i think i would enjoy:
1. sunny (california, colorado)
2. distinct seasons/snow (minnesota, chicago, pennsylvania)
3. what i'm used to (seattle, berkeley)
4. muggy (PA)
also: places where i'd want to later live:
1. washington, top half of california
2. minnesota, maybe PA
3. western us
4. L.A.
also awesome mascots i'd like to be:
1. scottie dogs (puppy!)
2. huskies (puppy!)
3. buffalo
4. trojan (to continue the sex theme)
5. gopher (to continue the small rodent theme)
6. maroons (although the pheonix is probably above a buffalo)
