Thanks for your response! And I guess it would just be nice to be in an academically-driven atmosphere both in and out of the classroom, but I do see your point. I do know that there are many opportunities for research involvement at UM though! Sadly, I won’t be able to come in with enough AP credits to double major, because my high school doesn’t offer enough AP courses. Because of that, UM’s rigid curriculum is a disadvantage for me.

Can you comment on whether it’d be more advantageous to complete a Master’s from the same school as your undergrad? I realize this is completely forward thinking, but I’m just being hypothetical, haha. Right now, I think that I’d prefer doing my Master’s at a different university, but I’m not sure about my reasons why.
