Can you guys please rank my universities?

Applying to College
1

<p>Hi!!
I'm applying to nine schools in total and I hope you guys rank my universities.(not according to ranking associations like US News, but according to your standards!)
I haven't heard any decisions yet, but I believe it would be good to know which schools to be the most priority and to be the least priority beforehand.</p>

<p>Considerations (the order is just a random order):
1)my major is business related.
2)I'm a very outgoing and sociable person.
3)prefer big cities and large student population.
4)tuition fee.(in this case, does university A deserves this much of tuition fee?)</p>

<p>The following is what I ranked. </p>

<p>1)University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign ($28,570)</p>

<h2>2)University of Washington ($28,058)</h2>

<p>3)Penn State University ($28,746)
4)Purdue ($28,702)</p>

<h2>5)Syracuse ($39,004)</h2>

<h2>6)Ohio State University ($25,445)</h2>

<p>7)Uni of Minnesota:Twin Cities ($18,022)
8)Michigan State University ($31,148)
9)St. Lawrence ($44,400)</p>

<p>*UIUC and Uni of Washington are still indecisive... most people recommend me going UIUC so I put it as the most priority school for right now.
*not sure about Purdue, Syracuse, OSU... PSU as well.
*Uni of Minnesota has the cheapest tuition fee but I'm not sure about this school. Would MSU be better even if it is more expensive?
*St.Lawrence is definitely the least preferred school.</p>

<p>Thank you very much and I hope to hear from you guys asap!! :)</p>

<p>When you get in, and you have your financial aid packages so that you know which options do remain, you can worry about ranking them. </p>

<p>Do you know for certain that your family can pay for U MN, or do you need to keep looking for a place that is financially safe?</p>

<p>Because you prefer big cities, Washington & Minnesota should be near the top.
Outgoing & sociable, then St. Lawrence should be at or near the top.
For business related majors, check out the USNews rankings. A couple of years ago I read about a combined economics & foreign language major at the LAC.
Cost depends upon the financial aid package received, if any. This likely would put St. Lawrence on top.</p>

<p>My ranking according to the standards/requirements that you listed above is as follows:
1)University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign ($28,570)
2)University of Washington ($28,058)
3)Penn State University ($28,746)
4)Syracuse ($39,004)
5)Purdue ($28,702)
6)Ohio State University ($25,445)
7)Michigan State University ($31,148)
8)Uni of Minnesota:Twin Cities ($18,022)
9)St. Lawrence ($44,400)</p>

<p>In the end, however, you should choose the college that is best fit for you. Also, financial aid will play a huge factor.</p>
