<p>So, I've been accepted to several colleges, but Im having trouble choosing. Any input or idea I might have missed that would help me decide would really be fantastic.</p>

<p>I got into U Chicago, JHU, Cornell, UVa and the University of Maryland. For simplicity's sake, lets say I got the same financial aid at all, excpet for JHU, which I got a little extra scholarship at, and College Park, which is 100%, and I would get $3000 per year to go there.</p>

<p>I want to major in mathematics, but Im not 100% sure; i could change to just about anything. I live in Maryland, and proximately to home is a factor for me and my parents. Not huge, but existant. I want to go to graduate school, but I don'tknow how paying for it works. I'm a runner, and I can run at Chicago, and JHU, but thats it. Given that money is somewhat of an object, any advice? Anything about how where I go for undergrad would affect grad school would be great too. Just ask if you need anymore information. Thanks so much in helping me make this decision!</p>

<p>Chicago has a great mathematics program and you can find your niche because you can actually run for the school which i am sure would be pretty fun and would be a big deal for you..</p>

<p>I think Chicago ranks 5th in the nation for math, or something similar. Moreover, if you ended up deciding to double major in econ, thereby enhancing career or grad school options, Chicago is unmatched worldwide. The load is legendary, but it will make your post-graduate reality seem alot more manageable by contrast. Of course, if the whole Chicago vibe overwhelms you, as it does many, you may be well served choosing Cornell, which is a one of the more undergrad-focused Ivies, and provides a great variety of course options to you.</p>
