<p>what a difference 4 years make!</p>

<p>I first came here when DD was looking for undergrad schools. She ended up to to swarthmore college and has had a fantastic journey there! no regrets as we near graduation date!</p>

<p>so here we are 4 years later and dd is going on to grad school. She has received offers from all 5 grad schools that she applied to but has narrowed it down to:</p>

<p>brown or michigan. </p>

<p>Upenn is third on dd’s list but I added it to the discussion to see what your thoughts were. </p>

<p>DD will be studying elem education and has received a fellowship that can be fulfilled at all three institutions. So the funding is not really the problem. I am more interesting in knowing which institution will give her the most credibilty/knowledge/run for the money etc… going forward in her life. I should add that she plans to do a Ph D as well…(not sure if that makes a difference in grad school decisions).</p>

<p>So where would you go to to study elem education at the graduate level: Brown or Umich?</p>

<p>thanks in advance for your input.</p>

<p>(ps - she has to make a decision this week!)</p>
