<p>Congratulations on your dual acceptances, it’s a nice problem to have.</p>
<p>Icarus really hit on the important things. Your school isn’t going to have much of an impact on your specialty choice so long as you’ve done the necessary work - at least not to an extent that makes sense to base your school choice on it.</p>
