General Comments: not a surprise to me, but now there's a problem because I have too many schools to chose from, though, that is a GOOD problem to have. NU sure didn't help themselves on my ranking of schools by releasing decisions today. If they had done it 2 days earlier I probably would have visited, but now since my spring break is next week I have very little time to plan a trip.</p>
