General Comments: This decision was surprising to me. I’m very flattered that I got in, and just got back from an unofficial visit. I’m trying to decide between University of Rochester, Northeastern and Tufts. I’m leaning towards NU/Tufts because they’re so close to Boston, but I really need to sit down and think about it. My parents are still flipping out they’re so happy.
