I was able to visit Washington University in St. Louis and it resources impressed me. The professors were really engaging and the campus was stunning.

I am heavily leaning this way. Cornell threw a wrench in my decision because.. well its Cornell. STL may be a meh city, but the biggest draw is that it's insanely livable compared to Ithaca.

Brand spankin' new poster but I thought I would throw my stats in here. I haven't heard much about Oregon State or Uni of Minnesota, but I feel right now, they must have made offers. I am probably going to decline 3/5 of my offers this weekend (McGill, Alabama and New Mexico) as their funding is good but not as great as WashU and Cornell. If anyone has opinions on either school, let them be known! ---------------------------------------- Undergrad Institution: California State University Major(s): BS Geophysics Minor(s): None GPA in Major: 3.51 Overall GPA: 2.9 (unfortunate beginning to my undergrad career) Position in Class: near top Type of Student: domestic female GRE Scores (revised/old version): revised Q: 154 V: 156 W: 4.0 Research Experience: One year undergraduate thesis, presented poster at AGU 2016.
