text: Finally, you may feel more confident in your own decisions after seeking multiple opinions. Maybe you are about to make a decision, but you are't very confident. Seeking the opinions of multiple people can help reinforce your decisions, like an extra set of armor. Last spring, my brother got into two of his top choices for grad school. Both the University of Chicago and Princeton had very good economics programs, which he had a PhD in. It was a very hard decision, so he did his research from multiple sources, including visiting both schools with family. After listening to my parents, his economics professor at his under-grad school, and seeing the schools for himself, he made the decision to go to the University of Chicago. He is finishing up his first year there now, and has loved it. Seeking multiple opinions and sources in this big decision of his life helped him make the choice that was good for him, and made him more confident in his own choice to go there.
