After way to much anxiety this process is almost over! I have been insanely checking my email inbox and my mailbox everyday, sometimes twice or three times a day, since I knew all my graduate schools would be sending out there decisions. Of course my mailbox has been overflowing with junk mail now that I just want letters or very thick packages from multiple universities. And checking my email has resulted in such stomach cramps it could induce ulcers. Yet I have survived judgement and can report:
I have officially been accepted at both Brandeis University in Boston and Tulane University in New Orleans! Yeah, I am extremely excited since these were my first two choices.
I now get the overwhelming task of trying to figure out which one is the right school for me. There are so many factors weighing in that I may just have to write my pros and cons list for each school or play eenie meenie miney moe (is that really the spelling?). I was not expecting this option and have no idea how people make the choice of where to move, which school is right and who to lay the potential of their future and career on. I even posted this announcement of facebook and asked my friends to weigh in with their opinions since I am at such a loss. Here are a few responses I've received thus far:
*Boston - you've spent you whole life in sunshine and heat - mix it up a bit! Plus I am close! :-)
*Both places have annoying local accents...But Boston can't touch New Orleans southern hospitality plus you can help rebuild nola right!!!
*Go to Boston so I can visit :)
With all this wonderful advice I am still at square one! We shall see.
