<p>First I want to thank absolutely ALL of you for your comments and opinions. Although I have not reached a firm decision yet, I am leaning towards one of these schools. Things started clarifying in my head...</p>
<p>A.S.A.P., thanks for your offer. I will come back to it if I need more info.</p>
<p>NJres, in regard to your questions:
-I am from Bulgaria; btw, I am one of the 6 Bulgarians who got into H this year, and the only Bulgarian who got into Yale. At first, I thought that being the only one admitted to Y from my country makes me somehow special, but now I don't know how to feel about that. H, on the other hand, has a very strong Bulgarian community.
-I would like to study in China or India, or some country in Latin America
-actually I have been accepted to some other places too, but I have ruled them out because of fin considerations.</p>
<p>cosar, about the "disinformation that tends to float around" ...I know what you mean; I beleive that this is very confusing. For example, Hanna said that there is very little competition at H, but I have spoken to other H students, and most of them say that at H "every day is a battle". I just don't know whom to listen to.</p>
<p>sucharita, yes, I beleive that Y is still my dream school...it is just that when I got the acceptance letter from H, I just could not shut my eyes and blindly choose Y. H is a great school, and I thought that it deserves fair consideration. After researching it, I actually came to love some things about it...and this has turned my decision into an ORDEAL.</p>
<p>The people here have commented on almost all aspects of the H and Y experience, but I find it somewhat strange that no one commented on the political science major at both. I would really like to hear some opinions on this. From what I have heard the pli sci major at H is stronger than that at Y.</p>
<p>One more question directed to everybody with experience in applying to grad schools and jobs:
Is it true that a H degree has more weight or is given greater preference than a Y degree?</p>
<p>Thanks again for your input, guys!</p>
