I was leaning towards UW-Madison but now have to strongly re-consider Fisher. Graduating without any debt would be amazing.....
Wow! That's a great offer, congrats! Attended the red carpet weekend on Saturday and it was a great time. Would be a great place to end up. I don't know much about Madison, but I presume you can't go wrong either way, and it's great to have that choice.
It was definitely a good time! I was born & raised in Columbus, and attended Ohio St. for undergrad, and am still local (live a half hour walk from Gerlach Hall)... so it's a bit complicated. Staying home is a plus, but now's the time to expand my horizons if I'm going to make a geographical switch. The aid package makes it appealing definitely as well!
Once I get all my decisions back I'm going to have to sit down and make the call, but Fisher's definitely in the running! The curriculum redesign, it being home, and near another market I'd love to live in long term (Chicago) are all big benefits. We'll see!
