Grad School

Well, after carefully considering all of my options, I have officially decided to accept admission to the University of Chicago. If it were simply a matter of the quality of the program, I wouldn't have hesitated, but the cost of attendance at Chicago is so astronomical that I really had to consider if it was worth it. Luckily, U of C got me in touch with a current graduate student in the same program that I will be entering, and she must have answered over 20 of my questions. It really made me feel comfortable about my decision. All in all, the combination of quality, employment opportunities after graduation, location and campus made this a fairly easy decision for me. In addition, U of C has a cooperative program with Yonsei University here in Korea (Seoul), which would give me an opportunity to possibly return to Korea a couple years down the road as a student. Obviously I have not even thought about whether or not I would do this, but it's nice to have the option.
