Choosing between two open houses

[languagegirl]

So I'm going to be flying into Chicago from Jersey on the weekend of the 25th. Originally I received an acceptance from Rush and I booked my flight to see their open house. But now I've also been accepted to Northwestern. Except there open house is the VERY SAME DAY at the very same time. So now I don't know what to do. I can't come back a different weekend and none of the schools are doing individual tours. What do you guys think??

Congrats on getting into two amazing programs! Both schools know the students they accept are applying to similar programs. You may not be the only person who is in this predicament. Ask the schools if a compromise can be made. Can you spend the first half of the day at Rush and then take the train up to Northwestern? or vice versa?

Thanks!! My mom suggested the same thing you are - going to half and half of the programs. I'm just one of those people that feels like when they leave early or arrive late you're missing something. But I want to give both programs an equal chance! I was thinking of going to Rush first and then Northwestern. It seems like it would be a hectic day but I think it might be necessary!!
