Ivy Leagues obviously have cache, but they also have cultural or social implications as well. Have you actually visited the campuses? One thing I did was take tours of a few of the schools I was thinking about, seeing what life was actually like on-campus. Some place like Yale may have a good program, but if you can't stand the average student, you probably shouldn't go.Austinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15289493499922076048noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6232096714486773442.post-57656604194007948202010-09-27T13:28:25.297-07:002010-09-27T13:28:25.297-07:00This comment has been removed by the author.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6232096714486773442.post-6065780032709727072010-09-27T13:22:19.139-07:002010-09-27T13:22:19.139-07:00Aww.

It really depends on where you're going field-wise. Ask yourself, Where do you show promise? What do you like to do? How far are you willing to go? The answer will eventually present itself and life will fall into place. Or, you'll just be a humble hobo. It's Win/Win, really.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
