<p>Congratulations gloworm. We’re still waiting on our daughter to make her final decision, but it looks like whatever that choice is she’ll be spending the next five years in the midwest. ND is the favorite, but she’s also considering Case Western Reserve and Indinana. As a parent I like the security the ND financial package will provide, but that’s just one criteria she’s weighing.</p>
<p>Hudson,
It was difficult to say no to ND, but IL offered one more year (minimum) of funding, and a certain certificate that she really wants in addition to the doctorate, that is not possible at her other choices. She only applied to MW schools to be closer to home after so many years far away. I’m sure your D will make the best choice for her, all those are wonderful schools.</p>
