HUGE dilemma! BATES vs. ROCHESTER?

<p>Hey guys,
Ok i dont have much time here!</p>

<p>Ive been trying to decide between Bates and Rochester, but I was waiting to the point that they send me their financial aid packages. Now that i have received offers from both places, I am in a bigger dilemma…Bates and Rochester offered me similar aid packages…so finances are out of the picture…</p>

<p>Now I just need some pushing factors, as to why I should go to Bates and how it will benefit me in future and going to graduate school and in the job market.</p>

<p>So any of you who could help me out…please do so! I need to convince myself and my parents! </p>

<p>Thanks</p>

<p>-Bates is ranked 43rd in the nation (that's LACs and top universities COMBINED) as a feeder school to get into grad school
-You can go just about anywhere you want if you've got at least a 3.6 from Bates, grad school-wise
-You doh't want to miss the amazing Bates experience, it's a great place to go for four years.</p>

<p>THEGWALL822~ Im coming to BATES! hahahaa! yeah man...pretty damn excited!

Go Bobcats!</p>

<p>reach me by AIM or <a href="mailto:jbrowher@gmail.com">jbrowher@gmail.com</a></p>

<p>I am in contact with 2 incoming Batesies as it is, if you contact me i can give you their contact info.</p>

<p>I have many friends up at Bates and I already go to college 30 minutes away so I can answer any questions you have. My parents caught me drinking at college this year so I may have to do chem-free in Roger Williams Hall, but that won't stop much, hehe...</p>

<p>Transfers and freshmen have a similar orientation process (a few events are slightly different) so I'll be around. And yes, we will get smashed like there's no tomorrow.</p>

<p>Go Bobcats! (PS look for a car window decal in the mail)</p>
