Dilemma
I've been looking at grad schools today during the incubation times in my experiments and let me share this fact...I AM SOOO FREAKED OUT! The majority of the really well rated schools in my field are either places I will shoot myself before going there because they are so insanely competative (Berkeley undergrad was plenty...thank you very much. I have payed my debt to society...NEVA AGAIN!) or are in places I would not want to live in for the next 4-7 years of my life. On the other hand, I know I'm a decent applicant and I want to go to a school that will not only challenge me but provide me with the amazing resources I have seen at Penn, which would make research just soooo much easier.
