I got into both Tufts and NU as well. Now I’m trying to decide between Tufts and Chapel Hill. I eliminated NU because I wasn’t really satisfied with the financial package and can’t stand the Chicago winter (although Boston’s harsh climate definitely competes with Evanston’s windy winter).

I’m undecided as well, but I applied to schools with an interest in economics, international relations, and journalism. I’ve begun to move away from the journalism idea (which was another reason why I eliminated NU).

Although I could see myself at NU, I think Chapel Hill or Tufts would be a “better fit” for me. You have to visit the campuses and see which school would be better for you.
