<p>Hi everyone! I was accepted into the schools in the title, but have no idea where I want to go.
I want to major in Materials Science and Engineering, with a minor or something in Business (I want to later get an MBA and eventually be a CEO of a tech company :). I want to get a great engineering foundation but also enjoy my college experience.</p>
<p>I'm also a very social person, like going to parties, and am a girl, which is what makes me wary about Caltech. I really like living near cities, so I might be unhappy at Cornell (is Cornell boring socially?). However, I'm a HRR Presidential Research Scholar at Cornell so I could have money to do my own research. Duke seems so perfect except I would have to major in MechE/Materials Science and it has a low-ranked Engineering school. I live 30mins outside of Berkeley and have done internships there so I really don't want to stay that close to home, but it is such a great school. CMU seems just kind of "meh" at this point. Michigan is generally a good engineering school but it seems like its not a great intellectual/innovation center like some of these other schools (lower admissions standards, etc.).</p>
<p>Clearly, I'm very stressed out and really need a lot of help deciding! Any advice would be very helpful. Thank you so much. </p>
