<p>Hello everyone,</p>

<p>I am between these three schools since i was waitlisted from my top choice. I know these are all vastly different schools in terms of academics, but i need to try and figure out which it the best for me. The major i want to pursue is psychology and i have the intention of going to graduate school for my PHD. </p>

<p>Also I am very nervous about picking the wrong school. I am looking for a school that isn't completely centered around drinking or would have people who don't care if I'm not a drinker. I am a social person, but i am not a very heavy drinker. </p>

<p>I am feeling very pressured to go to a good school and make a decision quickly since the deadline is approaching. All my friends are going to good schools like NYU, Hamilton, and Binghamton, so i feel pressured to also choose a good school. </p>

<p>Can someone please give me some insight as to what i should do? Maybe even list some pros and cons to each of them.</p>

<p>When you are under pressure from friends, parents, or relatives, say that you’re going to Admitted Students Day on April … and will make your decision afterwards. Don’t forget to register for Admitted Students Day and request permission to go from your HS.
Can you give us (tuition+ R&B) - (grants+scholarships) = ?
What’s your parents’ budget?</p>
