I think you need to consider the environments of all the schools and how you will meld with them.

You need to go to achool thatis best suited for your personality, where you'll be surrounded by people you can become friends with.
I've heard too may stories about kids who choose a school based on majors and achievements and end up hating it because they hate the people and they have to "be someone else" to coexist.

Oh my god, Congratulations!!

Go wherever you think you will love life, like Alex says, not where you think you'll get the most respect for going. Go where you think you'll be happiest in your surroundings.

that is so amazing, aria, congrats!!!! I'm really really happy for you.

if you haven't done this already, try to schedule an overnight or something at galludet and your other schools- I've heard it really helps you get a feel for the campus, students, and how you'll fit in.

if you've visited a million times and still aren't sure, make a pro/con list. sometimes it helps clarify things.

Go with your heart sunnyd137 March 21 2007, 13:13:51 UTC

Good luck with your decision. It's an important choice and drove me insane last year at this time.

I can agree with singsilverlight and mmm_jillicious, I definitely went without full consideration of where I was going. Then again, I decided after a campus welcome day, when I fell in love with Ann Arbor (but then again, my choices were AA, Cleveland, or CP, so take it for what its worth). The students seemed nice too, but then again I was hosted overnight by a guy who chose UM over Dartmouth and Yale (for the money, probably) so my opinion of the students was skewed. Turns out most of the students are rich morons whose parents could have afforded the top schools but their kids couldn't cut it, so they went to "the Harvard of the Midwest". huh ( ... )
