<p>Well Keil, I wouldn’t suggest this to everybody, but UC Berkeley might actually be something she would want to look at. Now, as far as prestige goes, just about every adult family member of mine on the other side of the Pacific Ocean knows UC Berkeley, and the immense strength of its graduate school can be seen in multiple sources. Cal is pretty close to San Francisco, and will probably be a bit cheaper than a full pay at a private school. I’ve talked with several English Faculty there, and I must confess that it is definitely one of the best in the nation. Now, it’s not a northeastern school for sure, so you’ll def want to take a closer look at that. Also, I’m sure you know that the student to faculty ratio isn’t the best, but if size flexible is the case, than again talk with her. Anyways, see what she thinks about it: it’s not northeastern, but it is great at Lit, close to Urban area, and absolutely prestigious if we’re referring to the stereotypical Asian parent.</p>
