<p>I sent my SIR to the University of Washington, Seattle days ago, but I recently got admitted to Boston University. Now, I have this new feeling of ambivalence. Money is not really a problem, but I'm an international student if that is anything important. U Dub considers me as an out-of-state applicant while BU considers me a pure international student so tuition differences do exist. Which school is more prestigious? Which school is more academically better? Which school would be more beneficial for a person who wants to pursue biomedical research?</p>
