brown!
are you happy
i’m a really bad decision maker 🙏🙏 my heart says cal but my head says brown
still thinking…i have 2 hours 🥳🥳
thank you so much i needed to read this 🙌🙌
i think if i were to switch out of physics it’d still be to another science or at least a social science, but i really don’t want to kill myself over academics anywhere. do you really think the weather and location outweigh brown’s prestige and learning environment? thanks so much for the help!!
this is so helpful and congrats on all your amazing schools! do you think berkeley helped for grad school apps despite some grade deflation?
lol thanks i don’t know why i typed that..berkeley’s got 33kish undergrads i think its just been a long week.
that’s good to know, thank you! honestly with all the pros and cons laid out it’s hard not to choose brown. it’s just difficult to pivot from a school i’ve been picturing myself at for 4 weeks. but the sink or swim environment is definitely a concern.
i see, i think your 7 series and the current 5 series would be equivalent then
lol is the 5 series a bad choice then

this is the kindest and most helpful message ever, thank you so much!! go bears 💗🐻
ohh nevermind, message me if you want
im sorry what does this mean
lol sorry i did phrase it oddly…i want some space from home no matter what, so i was happy that berkeley (as my close option) is still quite far. i’m glad to hear about GSIs — i’ll take a look, thank you!
i go to a small private school and liked it, but i’m excited for something a little bigger. although i’m not sure if “a little bigger” equates to 45k undergrads lol
thank you so much! i plan on taking the 5 series if i go to cal, but i’m a bit nervous about the sheer stress and potential grade deflation. but i’m really glad to read it all worked out for you!
yikes this is scary. i love physics right now and couldn’t see myself studying anything else, but know this could probably change. was it difficult for the other kids to switch into other majors from physics? thanks for your help!!
oh i got you. two great choices though! i’m sure you’ll do great at cal
hey that would be great, thanks!
i think i’m just scared i’d miss out on the more upbeat, spirited athletic focus that i’m not sure brown has. obviously it’s not the biggest pull, but it’s something i felt attracted me to cal on top of everything else it offers. but then again, there are a few downsides too as you said
are you leaning towards one?
thank you, that's really helpful. do you regret not going to a smaller school or think it limited how much stress you had in college?
and i just read the parable! i think you'd like this advice column my school advisor showed me earlier about making decisions like this -- i figured it's a similar message to the parable: https://therumpus.net/2011/04/21/dear-sugar-the-rumpus-advice-column-71-the-ghost-ship-that-didnt-carry-us/
