<p>stern- thank you so much for all your advice! Your comments are much appreciated. :)</p>
<p>I actually visited F&M yesterday afternoon... it was pretty, but I wasn't like "WOW!"... I'm thinking I might have to come back and visit again during the school year so I can actually get a feel of the atmosphere with all the students there.</p>
<p>I had heard something about F&M's grade deflation before; but, I had never thought about the effect of the grade deflation in grad school admissions. That's a great point, and if I end up seriously considering the school, it will be one of many points I'll be sure to make to my dad. Haha.</p>
<p>Thanks again!</p>
