A few weeks ago I assumed my chances of getting into at least one grad school were 50/50 at best. I've since been blown away by results– I made it into Harvard, Stanford, and Caltech, more than I could have reasonably hoped (!!!).
I feel awed and thankful to say the least; I was not exactly the strongest applicant in my intended field (Applied Physics).
Now though, I'm wondering what to do! The departments are similarly ranked and take on similar research projects (insofar as I currently understand them). Funding information is not 100% developed, but it sounds like I can earn enough to live on at each school.
Just looking for thoughts– please feel free to share, no matter how blunt!
