Hello everyone,
I have been accepted to UIC (UPR) and to NYMC. I have one interview pending, and I am waiting to hear back from SLU post interview. Both UIC and NYMC are awesome schools, and I would be happy to attend either. Despite this, I feel like SLU fits my personality the best, and I am already quite comfortable in St. Louis. I am on HPSP, so tuition is irrelevant, but my stipend is about 2,000/ month which makes cost of living a big issue. I really like NY, but I don't know if my stipend will allow me to have a good quality of life. Illinois will be the cheapest, but there isn't as much to do in areas other than Chicago. If I attempt to switch to Chicago, then the cost of living will increase substantially. Saint Louis has a decent cost of living and a lot to do. Also I loved the people at the school, and the curriculum seems awesome. The school seems supportive of its students which is a really important factor. I should be evaluated by Slu either next week or the following meeting in two weeks. I am heavily leaning towards sending a letter of intent, but I still have one school that I haven't interviewed at, and I am worried that I will suddenly fall in love with this other school ( the cost of living is comparable to St. Louis, and there seems to be a lot to do). I am in a position where I think SLU is my best fit, and I want to increase my chances of acceptance, but I am working on partial information. Can anyone provide information that may make this decision easier? I will send a letter of intent or interest by tomorrow, so fast responses are preferred. Thank you for the help!
