Glad to help! It’s one of my usual pieces of advice to students who are comparing schools, esp when they get down to the final choices.
Of the students I’ve had (at my school), those who get to research things they love enjoy themselves tremendously and those who have to pick from what a school offers when the offerings aren’t their interest feel rather blase about it.
What one is interested in is not always aligned with the highest ranked place, but getting involved in it often leads to great networking for future grad schools or straight to jobs. Overall ranking is really minimal at best when selecting a school, esp if one has ideas about what they want.
