Obsessing About Rank Lists

[BCS_001]

Hey,

Hope everyone is doing well. Anyone else out there having real difficulty picking between two (or three or four or ...) schools at the top of their list? I am definitely at a bit of an impasse in my decision making. Essentially, I am having difficulty deciding whether or not to leave my home institution...the debate over giving up so many things already going on versus the opportunity to see something new. I don't know...just thinking aloud, I guess, and figured others could write their thoughts/dilemmas as they go through this process as well.

Have a great night all!

me and a friend were discussing htis exact dilemma tonight - we are both having extreme difficulty with number one/two - it gets to be really hard when you think you have a good chance at either - dont ya think? It'd probably be easier if number one was a real reach school, but then again, we'd probably have a hard time with number two and three

Its also hard when programs are similar, but may vary slightly enough that choosing one over the other is a mistake.

Before all this started I thought I would do second looks to kiss butt, now I'm really doing them to figure stuff out!!

Good luck BCS!

I change my mind every other day. Sometimes you just have to choose your priorities....but that's seems harder than I thought! Personal happiness vs. future opportunities is my problem. Good luck!
