Thanks, Singsalot! With an Ohio offer in hand, it's a lot to mull over.
For reference, this is my third year applying to Northwestern. (As I told them in my interview, this is my third year applying--and also my last year applying. Brazenness FTW!) I was convinced for a while that I didn't want to leave Chicago, so I only applied to one school. I also hadn't really thought through the issue of funding.
Now that I'm older and wiser, I'm less willing to go into debt and more willing to move for the right opportunity. So, Northwestern seems less appealing than it once did...but we'll see how it shakes out.
