In all likelihood, the decision will be made for you. So table the potential dilemma for now and revisit if you gain both acceptances. You’ll also have ~ a month to decide if it does happen. Realistically both will give you the same opportunities. It will be a question of fit (east coast vs west coast, small vs large class, desire to work internationally or only in the US, how much you like/dislike tech culture, how much weather matters to you, how much you like the case method). Where you fall on those things is something nobody will be able to tell you.

 

You currently work at a MF and don't know the answer to this question? Lol
