So, at right, there is a poll that has been up for many, many months, concerning where we should go for grad school. Since then, the University of Washington has rejected me, and hurricane-related concerns helped me decide not to apply to UTMB in Galveston, Texas. Remaining are the Albany Medical College, the University of North Carolina-Chapel Hill, the University of Texas-Southwestern Medical Center in Dallas, and the University of Virginia.
Virgina has yet to respond to me.
I interviewed with AMC last week by phone. They seemed nice, and I'm sure I'd get a good education there, but unless everyone else rejects me, I can't imagine us living there. Albany is too freaking cold.
This week, I'll be flying out to Dallas for an interview at UTSW, and I'll be doing the same next week in Chapel Hill. Dallas is a much cheaper place to live than Chapel Hill and Charlottesville (not to mention Albany), but Lauren's not all that thrilled about spending 5-6 years living in a Texas climate, and we would definitely be closer to family in North Carolina or Virginia.
I wonder what will win out: who gives me the most money to go to their school, or love of Cheerwine?

that's a big decision - good luck!
of course, you must live in Chapel Hill. What does money have to do with it? Return to your roots. And go to the big research university at which your family has roots. I guess UVA would be OK too.
Texas Schmexas. Don't do it.
