Anyone else letting god take the wheel?

Post by KTheoryKid » Sat Apr 15, 2023 12:19 pm

I have two dead even offers. There are clear pros and cons at each, but I cannot for the life of me decide on which I prefer more. I have talked to so many people at each school and from my undergrad institution and friends about advice. Nothing has definitively swayed me, since both offers I still would be really happy at.

I'm going to flip a coin at 11:55pm EST and let the cosmos decide my faith.

If you know you’re going to flip a coin already, flipping it earlier would help other people waiting to hear from schools

You can look at some other criteria you haven't thought of.

For example:
- Which university is close to a large city (e.g. NYC, Boston, LA, San Fran, etc.), that would make it easy to network with people?
- Which university have difficult/relaxed prelims?
- Diversity (if that is something you care about )
- Does the school have good faculty in other adjacent areas that interest you like physics, biology, neuroscience, etc that you might network with?

Just my 2 cents

Ironically I know 2 different people who compiled a list of grad schools of interest, and then proceed to eliminate schools where a Costco warehouse is not present in town. :?
