WOW! That's awesome, congrats!!!

I agree with Postbib Yeshuist and JayF. I would take the school that is offering me the money that would allow me not to be in debt later on. Once you start your career, you are going to want to spend that hard earned money on other things besides paying back loans that have built interest. I am sure you will find many things to do in that area. The couple of years you will be in that program will fly by and then you can move. Of course, when you are reading our answers, you are either going to agree with those of us who are saying take the money or those that are saying dream school...it is which ever group of us that you are agreeing with that you have made your decision. No matter which school you end up choosing, it will all work out in the end and you will have an awesome career. Follow your heart!

This is my personal story: I have known since high school what I wanted to be but did not want to move off to a huge university and feel overwhelmed. I graduated high school from a very small 1A school with my graduating class being that of 18. So I went to a community college and got my AA degree. Because I knew the degree I wanted in high school, I had already done the research of what schools would be the best for my degree. I transferred to the university that held the graduate program I wanted to finish my undergrad degree because I wanted to get the feel of the university and make sure it was the best place. I was recently accepted into the grad program at my undergrad institution and that is were I will be attending. It has been my top choice since high school and I am thrilled. As of now, I only want my Specialist degree (between a Masters and of PhD) and then I will begin my career. But if later I feel that I want a PhD, I will apply to the same school again...because, in my opinion, it is the best school for what I am pursuing.

WOW! That is a lot of pages in an hour!! That is awesome! I remember timing myself way back in jr. high to see how fast I could read and it was about 10 pages in a novel per 30 minutes....sad and slow, I know! I really do not think I have improved that much even as someone who will be starting grad school in the fall. Although, when I find I book I love, I will not put it down until I am through with it...even if that means I read straight from the morning I bought it til 3 a.m. the next morning. This, I suppose, is the reason I only allow myself to read for fun on my school breaks.
