<p>Wartsandall - I kind of can’t really decide. I love them all. I love the atmosphere at USC and UCLA, but I see myself succeeding more at JHU and but perhaps not loving it as much at the UCs. I might weed out NYU because I hear they don’t give the best aid… or is that FA and not so much merit aid? Rice/Duke… I hear that they are very intellectual and I like that and they have excellent programs. Haven’t really been there before but from what I’ve seen, very nice!</p>
<p>I was mostly thinking that I should ED to the school that I have either the best chances of getting into or the chances of getting most merit aid because I truly feel that I could “fit in” at all of them. I really am very flexible and have spent summer camps at various different types of colleges (urban, rural, large, small, etc) and loved them all.</p>
<p>shinhanbag - aha, I think you have better ECs and harder course load! Gave you a chance of what I thought. I’m not really the best person to ask, though, so eh take what I say with a grain of salt.</p>
