I think it depends on your field. I'm not quite sure what security studies are, but school is also more than the institution itself--while AU is a good school, the DC area has so much to offer, especially in terms of networking, internships, etc. But--I think you should stay in Florida. If you really wanted to attend AU and live in DC, no one could say anything to change your mind.

Agh...this post made me feel old! Lol....I turned 30 in October, so I don't feel old, despite the house, kid, job lifestyle I have going on. And the other persons post about college (sorry, I cant see other posts while responding via the mobile site) reminded me that I only applied to one college. Granted it was early admission, so if they rejected me I had time to apply to other schools, but they didn't and thats how I wound up in Minnesota. Maybe I'm just a one-app kinda student?

Bump.... Are there any new one-schoolers out there this season? I thought about applying to a couple of schools, but I really found the place where I think I belong, and I can't see uprooting my husband, my 2.5 year old and selling our house for second best. If I don't get in this year, I'll try again next year. I'm actually pretty comfortable with this decision, much more than I thought I would be.

Hi everyone, I wish I had found this board earlier. I have applied to the MA/PhD program at the University of Chicago. This was the only program in which I applied because of my specific interests. I am finishing my M.Ed, so I have a different experience than most applying for a social work doctorate. Only really interested in research and teaching. The deadline was just his past Wednesday, so Im hoping to get a response in mid February. Maybe?!? My GRE scores were okay, undergrad GPA, again ok, graduate school GPA rocks, and I have one publication. I'm hoping my SOA and my publication are my saving grace. Oh and of course fit.
