Think Specialized
College was about exploring your interests. In grad school, you’ll take it to the next level. Don’t get sidetracked by rankings. The choice to attend a certain school should be based on specific criteria, such as:
- The chance to study with a leading professor in your field
- The availability of fellowships and assistantships
- The balance among academics, work, and family
That’s not to say that a “high-ranked” school is a bad choice. However, grad school is about intensive study in your field — it’s not a popularity contest.
