<p>I am from Texas, and have been accepted to both UT Business Honors and Plan II as well as Georgetown School of Foreign Service.
I know that they are completely different fields, but I am not really looking for answers like "try and figure out which area of interest you like more," because that isn't really what I am looking for.
I want to know the intangibles as to why one would be better than the other, idk. Sorry for the vagueness, but any input could help.
My family is financially sound, so that doesn't really matter. I am just worried that maybe I will want to go to grad school, in that case UT would be better. However, I really like politics/govt so maybe GTown would be better. </p>
<p>I’ll give you a little bit of advice, but you’ll really have to expand a bit more on the criteria you are using to make your decision before anyone here can really help you.</p>
<p>First, let me preface by saying I am a BHP student and frickkin love it. If you really want to, you can search past collegeconfidential threads where students (such as myself many moons ago) were also in a tough decision spot, and I bet you can find some helpful information. </p>
<p>That being said, I can say with almost 100% certainty that both Plan II and BHP will give you the tools you need to be just about anywhere - as long as you have a good attitude and take advantage of the resources the programs provide. Now, if you’re very certain you want to get into international relations then Georgetown may be the better answer. If you’re not entirely sure, BHP and Plan II will give you the flexibility to try out IR and also give you the opportunity to move into just about any field you want to should you change your mind - whether that be law school, med school, investment banking, CIA, or consulting. Oh, and it will also provide a bomb diggity community where you’ll make awesome friends.</p>
<p>Thanks Beowulf! Sorry for the narrow-mindedness? but I just need all the help I can get. Thanks for your input though. I will definitely be scouring your previous posts. </p>
<p>Anymore help would definitely be so helpful.</p>
<p>Not necessarily narrow-mindedness, I didn’t meant that at all. All I meant is that it would help us help you if you told us which criteria are most important to you in making your decision. For example, you could post something like: “my top criteria are as follows: cost, location, weather, and IR opportunities.” - then we could probably give you some more insight.

<p>Thanks y’all. I think at this point I would choose GTown over UT because having posted this forum on both the UT and GTown pages, I have gotten overwhelming responses to go for GTown. And I definitely agree with NOT wanting to stay in Texas, although I do love it to death. I just really wanted to expand my horizons and needed a push by y’all do so! Thanks again!</p>
<p>Ok, so after going to the Discover BHP weekend, I am once again stuck in the same situation as I was before: confused. I JUST HAVE NO IDEA WHAT TO DO! I am getting really nervous and probably overthinking this whole thing, but once again, any additional help would be, well, helpful!</p>
<p>Texan-
You are very very fortunate to have two GREAT choices. Congratulations! Life is all about making decisions for ourselves. Some are easy to make and some are difficult. IMO there is never a wrong decision because people can still learn from it. It is a part of growing up. Pick one and dont look back.</p>
<p>Austin is freaking awesome and UT honors programs have great national reputations, especially Plan II. If I were you, I would save money and take the flexibility and options UT offers. College is an investment and you said cost is no issue to you but since I personally am planning on going to grad school for the field I want to work in I would definitely take the “ivy education at a public school cost” of plan 2.</p>
