- I'm single and looking to go to a fun place
- Don't know where I want to eventually settle
- Leaning towards IR but keeping my mind open
- I care equally about feel/location and program name/rep, as I want to keep the door open for getting a good academic job
Programs:
- Hopkins: I dislike Baltimore, and kind of liked the residents here. They talked about sports/played basketball/fantasy football, and seemed cohesive and fun
- UPenn: not a huge fan of Philly, but probably like it better than Baltimore. The residents here seemed kind of nerdy (not that that's a bad thing), didn't gel as well with them
- Duke: location seemed great for settling down, but not sure about being young and single. Residents I met were either married or had kids already
- UMich: loved this place. Everything clicked in terms of feel, and I don't mind the location. Worried that it doesn't have the same national rep as the other programs
- Northwestern: awesome IR, love Chicago, but again, not sure about national reputation, especially vs. UMich
Thanks for your input!
