I have a choice of two schools for my doctorate; one is ranked 63 and the other is ranked 90. Which should I choose -- and what about my boyfriend?
  • take charge of your own life!

    Everything in your letter is someone else's fault and now you want someone else to make a major decision for you. Take charge of your own life. Really, at the end of the day, it doesn't matter if you choose school #63 or school #90, your persuits will be what YOU make of them. Accept responsibility for YOUR life and go forward. You're using the choice between two schools as a red herring for your desire to AVOID making decisions about your own life. This isn't about school #63 and school #90. It's about you stepping up to the plate and taking deliberate proactive action towards your OWN life. Just do it.
