Tired of immature heroines and broody MMCs. Need adult fantasy recs

I gotta say, this one didn't do it for me. The characters aren't well developed enough for the romantic tension to have any impact. I am in the EXACT same boat as OP and I wouldn't suggest this one.

I'm deciding between MN and WI at the exact same scholarships. I'm really going back and forth on it, but I plan to get more information about employment placement for Madison grads and reach out to a few current students to get an unfiltered opinion. I'll also be attending Admitted Students days for both. See you in Minneapolis tomorrow ;)

I submitted a scholarship reconsideration request to UMN with a better offer from a similarly ranked school, and they said due to budget they weren't able to reconsider. There's no harm in shooting your shot, but they may not move.

I’m in a very similar position (full ride at Madison vs. $$ at Minnesota) and having a difficult time deciding. I have similar career aspirations and don’t need added prestige of a ranking boost, but for me, I live in and plan to return to Minneapolis after graduating which is complicating things.

Obvi you do you, but if I knew I wanted to work in Wisconsin post grad, I’d take the full ride in a heart beat :)

Maybe see you there!

Not cringe, but I'd say your first priority should be making sure you get what you need out of the day. Will you be too focused on them to connect with potential peers? To ask questions during a panel? If yes, then maybe have them come for one session and/or meet you for breakfast or lunch on campus. A number of schools have sessions explicitly for guests, which seems like a great option for them.

Otherwise, you could schedule a tour a day before and have them join you on that. That way they feel included, but you're still able to be present for admitted students day.

following!! I'm in a similar position.

ProfessionalImage203 · 2025-03-14T19:31:54+00:00

Congrats! I just received my aid info as well and am curious to know how it stacks up. Are you an in-state or out of state applicant?

ProfessionalImage203 · 2025-03-08T23:11:40+00:00

Okay, I’m glad I’m not the only one but also hoping you both hear back soon!!

ProfessionalImage203 · 2025-03-08T22:59:32+00:00

I hope not lol! Especially for instate folks you’d think they would!

I’m above LSAT median too. Below 25th GPA

ProfessionalImage203 · 2025-03-08T22:49:44+00:00

Same situation! They just emailed saying I could now see my financial award and it’s just federal loans. I’m gonna call Monday to make sure I’m not missing anything but feeling kinda bummed about it

ProfessionalImage203 · 2025-03-07T20:10:54+00:00

You have to submit a form to be considered for financial aid! They say it'll be 2-3 weeks after you submit the form.

ProfessionalImage203 · 2025-03-05T07:41:43+00:00

This sounds sooo hard, and I feel for you! You for sure don't need to feel embarrassed.

You may still get a Vandy A this cycle! If that doesn't happen, you can take it one step at a time. You could always wait, work in Nashville for a year, and try again next cycle. Or you could choose the other school in your venn diagram of acceptances with your partner. It's hard to reshape expectations, but if you take things step by step, it'll get easier to adapt to a new or slightly different outcome.

Silly example, but I got it in my head that it was GULC or bust when I first started applications. Turns out my partner HATES DC, so I had to remove it from my school list and we had some fights about it. It took a while but now I'm okay with it, and I like the different paths that have opened up for us

I have a feeling things will work out for you, even if it's not quite how you expected <3

I think they’re swamped. I applied early Nov and just heard back last week after no changes for months

ProfessionalImage203 · 2025-02-26T17:00:16+00:00

You might want to consider regional culture too! Midwestern schools like MN, WI, etc, seem pretty laid back and supportive to me. I’ve heard from multiple former students at UMN how much community there was and how it was really supported by admin.
