| It's very much a personal choice whether it's worth it to risk going to NU and hoping for MT. If U Mich is your first choice, for example, and you get in, then of course you wouldn't risk NU. But if it's a tough call, such as it was for my son (he didn't get into UM, and NU and Cap21 were pretty much tied for 2nd place), then things get more complicated. He was beyond thrilled to be accepted to Cap21, but for reasons mentioned above decided to risk NU.
As soozievt mentioned earlier, it's such an individual thing, and everyone has different motivations. As anyone who has been through the stress of auditoning for MT programs knows, it's a blessing to have choices at all. Good luck to everyone. |
