I did visit both school during the whole application process and I still preferred my first choice. Haven't heard anything from fin aid yet, so money may be a limiting factor in the end. Part of me is also kind of scared of saying no to the offer that I have just on the *chance *that I may get into my first choice next year (if I didn't get in the second time around then I would definitely just be satisfied with my second/current choice).
Speaking of, if I do just decide to try again next year and turn down the offer that I have now, do I rule out any chance of ever going to that school? (i.e. if you're admitted but say no, and then reapply, does it hurt your chances of getting in a second time, or would they even consider you?) The whole thing just seems like a gamble at this point...
