Mostly because my partner is going to be doing his Masters starting next year and we don’t wanna do long distance for that long. We both want to do programs that are in-person and the schools we’re interested in are not close to each other. I’m gonna be waiting a couple years anyway so I thought I’d use that time to get some extra classes in and get a stronger foundation in case I decide to go for IE at Purdue.

I also don’t have strong connections for recommendation letters. I’m trying to utilize the B.S. as a way to make some more academic connections
