...would you go regardless of what school it was?

I only applied to three schools, and while I have a "top choice" I'd be happy with any of them. I kind of wonder what I'd do if only accepted to one school with zero funding, esp considering I have a stable job (though I really don't want to stay here any longer). Was wondering what other people thought of this? Though I think most people on this board applied to more than three schools, increasing their chances of having a choice :wink:

I applied to 5 schools, and I'm at different stages with all of them! Luckily, I have one acceptance to sit on and I'm extremely happy with it. Although after my last interview weekend it's not really my top choice, I would be peachy choosing to go there... considering I am coming straight from undergrad and don't have the option to just continue in a job where I would presumably make lots more $$$. Also, I suppose I am very lucky to not have to worry about funding, since most bio-science programs offer full stipends. Both UCLA & Berkeley offer $27,000/year for up to 5 1/2 years.

So far I've only been accepted to one, and I would--and probably will--go there.

I only applied to "reach" schools, and would be beyond honored to attend any of them. Being only a year out of college, with no plans or responsibilities other than my rent, I figured I could afford to be picky.

Some of my schools have begun notifying accepted students, but so far, no news for me. At this point I really am just hoping for one acceptance, and am very glad I only applied to schools I'd love to attend!
