Ok so. The longer I'm here, the more indecisive I get. My big big thing is geography and how that's gonna affect things.
I also got some conflicting info from career services and students. The student panel said that school rank doesn't matter, but in all honesty, what I think they meant was "within the top 12-ish, rank doesn't matter." Which makes sense. I mean, what difference does it make if you go to Harvard or Yale?
Washington is about #17, so just outside the elite school. Geographically it is more where I want to be. Career services here says that if you're looking outside of DC/NYC, to let them know in your first year, so they can start working with you about getting opportunities in the area you're looking. Sounds useful.
UW is having an admitted students weekend in April, and I'm debating going. I'm not sure if it will help me reach a decision or not. I think getting the student interaction at UW would give me a more balanced picture at least.
I just....gr. It's not easy.
On an aside, I met an admitted student who looks just like Kandyse McClure.
