I'm new here and also a Chicago admit (i'm a foreigner). With stats do you mean GRE/GPA? I might be naive, but my assumption is that those hardly make a difference - am I right?
I have two questions..
First, does anyone of you know the source of that impression of Chicago as a very competitive environment? can anyone share perhaps from his own personal experiences?
Second, if some of you have more than one choice - what factors do you take into account in deciding (other than purely academic)? I got positive answers also from Duke and JHU - and am really having a hard time sorting it out in my mind. What factors would you consider most pertinent?
Thanks!
