I vote for JYA, for a few reasons: Amsterdam is wonderful, and this will likely be the easiest opportunity you'll ever have to live there. Four years without a break at Vassar = burnout. I suspect you'll be fine with a couple philosophy seminars alongside your thesis. You're unbelievably smart, and by senior year professors are willing to cut you some slack on deadlines, especially when there's an impending thesis. Also, as several of your highly motivated friends found this past year, it is possible to write a thesis in a few nights. Not sane, but possible. And 20+ page philosophy seminar papers become a snap to complete in a night. Thank you, pharmaceutical industry. You'll be so well situated to travel around next year if you're in the Netherlands - free places to stay in France, Rome, and Berlin, just for starters. Please don't pass that up!
