<p>I have a somewhat diverse range of interests in terms of what I would like to do after graduation, spanning from working for an international body like the WHO or IMF to journalism to working for a research institute. I was lucky enough to be accepted at Chicago but wait listed at Brown, Harvard and Columbia. Do the advantages that these schools provide in terms of career opportunities really far outweigh those of Chicago’s, so much so that I should pursue the wait lists aggressively and turn Chicago down if by some miracle I’m accepted?</p>
