<p>Thank you for your kindness; they were brutal. I realized that NU would be the best school academically, but I wouldn’t want to make such a huge decision without more information. Also, Chicago was a huge and somewhat menacing city. I don’t know if I’m ready to be around a large city. Pittsburgh isn’t half the size of Chicago (I don’t know if this is accurate, but it sure feels like it). I’ve lived in Pittsburgh my whole life and haven’t felt overwhelmed, but Chicago would be brutal to live in completely alone. At least I have a few friends at CMU if I’m having trouble transitioning into the college life. Also, I feel closer, emotionally, to CMU than NU. I think maybe I should just stick with CMU because it is a good school and if I decide that Med school isn’t for me I wouldn’t mind becoming a chemical engineer and CMU has an amazing engineering school. Who knows? If I regret my decision in the future at least I can say I gave it some thought. CMU is still a good school, nonetheless. It’s also renowned throughout Pittsburgh (as opposed to NU which only 2 people have actually heard of, out of the many I’ve told), which is, as of right now, going to be where I decide to reside in the future.</p>
<p>Anyway, thanks to all of those with advice. It was appreciated. :)</p>
