Hi there! Just want to put a plug in for Madison. It's a really cool town, and incredibly beautiful. I know you might picture cornfields when you think Wisconsin, but Madison is really wonderful. Definitely apply if the program itself is appealing. Syracuse, on the other hand, is one of the worst places I've ever been (I'm personally still considering applying because of the program, but would definitely not be excited to move there.)
To jump in, I'm applying to Michigan, Wisconsin, Brown, UVA, Cornell, Oregon, WashU, and maybe Syracuse and Iowa.
