    I imagine visit days are going to be one of the biggest factors in my decision. I've already been accepted into a very good1 school for one of my AOI. And looking at what they're doing over there, so long as my interests don't radically change, it'd be a nice place to be for 5-6 years. I haven't dug into placement yet, nor the effects of specializing basically as soon as I start. I've yet to hear back from anywhere with a substantially higher overall ranking2, but if I do, that will be another axis to consider.

     

    1 top-ranked for the specialty
    2 obligatory note about how I'm not a big fan of rankings but acknowledge their importance, both for future considerations and that they probably did something to be as such. That circles back to the fit problem, exacerbated by degrees of uncertainty about what I will come to want to do in the coming years. 

    Ditto on the visit days. Right now I am just completely confused on what to decide, and I still have many schools to hear back from. I hope after visiting it will become clear to me... I am of course very, very thankful and excited to have this problem, but it is still stressful... Trying to place value on location, AOI, funding, etc etc.
