Emory v. UIUC v. GMU v. Davis v. Lots of Other Schools Forum

I'm not sure if those responding are factoring in that I'm a URM when they're telling me my employment options will be bleak. Assuming that I perform well--huge assumption--I would have significantly more options than a similarly situated white person.

Don't do this.

Don't do this.

Don't assume that some companies and organizations are eager to hire high-performing URMs?

No. Don't allow that fact to cloud the fact that you could be making a bad decision in attending one of these schools.

URM boost in employment notwithstanding, there just aren't that many jobs. So be careful where you go and how much you debt you take on.

Oh, I'm cognizant of that fact, hence my conundrum.
