This is more along the lines of grad school, but hey--its all a form of higher education! I graduated with a good GPA, from a good school, and did well on my GRE's. When it came time for me to look at grad schools, I knew I wanted to stay in Atlanta, because it was accessible to home, I loved the city, and it had a good number of universities and schools to choose from. I researched all of them and ended up applying to Georgia State University. GSU is NOT the most prestigious, nor the most well known. BUT-it had the EXACT program I liked, it was the most econonmical, and they really made me feel that I was wanted there. I know Emory or Georgia Tech have a more well known reputation and probaley better opportunties at times, but sometimes finding the school that is the best fit for YOU is more important than any tier. ALSO, if you have any idea where you want to end up, that can also be a factor. In ATL, EVERYONE knows Georgia State. But I am sure if I went out to Los Angeles, it would be a little different. Just my little opinion--but GOOD LUCK and start studying--I know the GRE's SUCKED and I am sure the LSATs are worse!
