Jefferson vs Einstein

[Tenzing2017]

I was lucky to be awarded a merit scholarship at Einstein, but was really impressed with Jefferson and I love philadelphia and see myself being more happy there potentially?. What do you think?

What’s the difference in cost? If it’s not that much, go where you’ll be happier

30k difference per year.

30k difference per year.

At least thats the scholarship

I think Einstein has stronger research than Jeff and smaller class size. Im leaning towards Einstein.

I would say Einstein is a slightly better school, but I would personally choose Jefferson since you think you’d be happy there and save 120k over 4 years (if I’m understanding your COA right)

That and Jeff’s location is markedly better. The Bronx is not Brooklyn or Manhattan (which are most comparable to Philly), and it’s quite a drive with traffic or a subway ride (~30 min) to get to either.

The scholarship is for Einstein

Oh my bad misread that. That’s makes the decision tougher. In that case, I’d save the 120k and do Einstein unless you have a significant other philly, which it doesn’t sound like you do. Just my $0.02. I hate debt. It’s a bitch

Hey I wanted to ask about your LOR stuff. I am thinking of applying but on Jefferson's website they said that they recommend having a physics, chemistry, bio and a humanities LOR writer. did you have all of those or any of them?

I had 2humanities, 2 biochem, bio, 2 orgo, but not a physics.
