and i fail to see how you know me?
bitter? where is the bitterness in my comment?
get a hold of that edge, its kinda sharp.
personally, i feel that i made a rather funny, yet profoundly astute statement. perhaps you missed the implication of what i was saying: you should make your decision for yourself, no matter what anyone else tells you. you're the one that asked for the opinion. don't be surprised when someone gives you one. i apologize if i over-estimated your need for real info versus a feeling of self-assurance. for some, the latter is apparently important too.
best of luck to you.
of the 2 schools you already have acceptances, decide between those. not because this is some sage advice, but because you have to. and the school you're waitlisted at, determine if you want to go there, show interest, write a LOI. if you get in, great. if not, no big deal.
location, curriculum, reputation, cost. you've considered it all. where do you want to be? (thats a rhetorical question, not an attack laced with bitterness)
this is where i would insert a plug for my state school, umdnj.
