I kind of miss the hustle and bustle of February and March. GC is so quiet now.

Last (too-late) decision is in. Rejected for PhD, offered an MS. Classic. That'd be from rank #1 program. Meh.

I chose fit!

How do you choose?

@Zouzax: I swore all along that my decision would be made with a dartboard and a bottle of whiskey. I may have told a POI this, actually. Really, it involved Googling, nail-biting, hiding in bed with the covers over my head, Googling some more...and then finally deciding what was most important to me. Then there was whiskey.

Ah thesis! I was sleep-deprived, social-life-deprived, everything-else-deprived when I was writing mine This season is pretty good for me. I am still in the process of making my final decision. Good luck for you there!

Others cant understand why I am so emotional when talking about applications. I am about to take a big step in my life! I am not crazy; I swear

I am confused. Do you choose schools based on fit or prestige? I want "fit"; one professor chose "prestige".

This sounds like causation/correlation. If you go to Harvard, do you get a job because of prestige or do you get a job because so many Harvard graduates have deep connections? If the former, than prestige helps. If the latter, your connections would get you a job regardless of where you went. My suspicion is that the people who do best coming out of Harvard are the ones who have been prepped and groomed for Harvard since they were first sonogrammed in their mother's womb.
