Blargharg, just PMed you. If anyone is looking for housing, I'm looking for another roommate. My house is about 4 miles from campus. Check out the Craigslist ad and email me or PM me if interested: http://sfbay.craigslist.org/pen/roo/4017231968.html

Declined my offers to UCLA, Columbia, and NYU today. It was an incredibly difficult decision. Good luck to those of you who are waiting!

Thanks mbrown0315. I wish there were an easy answer!

Hi all. Looking for some advice as decision time approaches. I am strongly considering two schools, a top 5 school and NYU. I know this has been discussed a bit, but how important do you think rank is in finding a job placement? I really enjoyed visiting NYU and believe it is an excellent fit for my interests, but am doubting the decision because of the difference in rank. I haven't been to the higher ranked school yet, but based on the faculty I'm guessing it is not as good of a fit. At the outset, I didn't want to consider rank at all in making my decision, but visiting schools and hearing grad students talk about the pressure to find a job has given me second thoughts. Advice? Assurance? Your experience finding a job?

I declined my offer from UW today. Good luck abk5074!
