I remember you posting that you got into MIT and CalTech as a junior. You're the one who won the Siemens' competition, right? What happened to Mass-/Cal-Tech?

I had a hard time choosing between Harvard and MIT; both were strong in my academic area interest (mathematics). Eventually, friends choosing Harvard and recruiting efforts convinced me to go there.

Edit: Congrats on Emory BTW. I have some policy debate friends who go there and love it. :thumbsup:

I went to a public university for undergrad, am at a private law school now.

Private school pays for a lot of cool stuff that I don't participate in, public school was a hell of a lot of fun.

Thanks. I visited about 2 or 3 times (only once after I actually got accepted), but I absolutely loved it. Can't wait to start.

Uhhh ... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Penn_State

The Pennsylvania State University (commonly known as Penn State) is a state-related, land-grant university.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Commonwealth_System_of_Higher_Education

allows the independent control of the universities while supplying them with the public funds needed for operations at each institution. Universities in the System are considered public universities

Perhaps I'm reading these incorrectly.

Huh, odd. I was told by workers at the University that it is a private college, and that the University of Pennsylvania was the public one.
This page does say "Penn State is a multi-campus public land-grant university..." whatever "land-grant" means.

That's why I decided to go to a private college. I like the small classrooms and actually getting a professor teaching your class and not a TA.

I went to public undergrad and had small classes and no TA's. Well, a TA led a weekly recitation for gen ed history, but that's it.

I'm at a private law school, and the class sizes are similar (80 kids in a staple course, but under 20 in an elective)
