Final Plans for narrowed down 5 grad schools.

Okay,

Since one of my choices was quick enough to send me material I've requested. I already have been working on setting up its "folder."

The "grad school folder," is my little pet project I want to get done in the next few weeks to help me apply to grad schools in a more organized and smarter fashion. This current one for UNA is complete with the school's: tuition, aid information, department information, contact stuff, school app, and requirements for admission. BUT here is the thing. Since ALL of the schools I've requested info from range from EVERY STATE in the eastern US that isn't Ohio, Illinois, Indiana, New York (and surrounding/northern guys) or Pennsylvania - I will be massively uprooting myself. So I've also included price ranges of apartments, lists of day cares in the area - highlighting the ones I'd prefer to work at, museums, public transportation information, etc etc.

UNA made it to the final 5 because of cost alone. 210 per grad credit hour and 350 - 500 dollars for a 1 bedroom apartment is pretty good. But I am trying to find a perfect fit. So I'd rather find the place that fits my personality and city that fits me rather than just going to a place because it is cheap.

Because I did that with Youngstown.
And that was a mistake.

Anyway right now I am fighting the battle between doing what I need to do: Complete my case studies for Friday.
And doing what I can safely put off: Working on these folders.

So I think I will just be stressed instead.
Finals.
Grad School.

I would rather my grad schools just be fighting for me rather than me having to fight for them.
But, whatever, I am definitely not smart enough for that.
