Choosing the Right College

College Search & Selection
1

<p>Hey everyone</p>

<p>I'm really cracking down on my college search and right now I'm trying to pick a good school for ED. But here's my problem: I really love more than one school! My favorites right now are Cornell, Brown, Dartmouth, and Duke. </p>

<p>I'm trying to find a school that fits me the best. I'm a preppy cheerleader who's really into science research and I want a school that has some spirit but also has a strong science department (I know that Brown isn't the most spirited but I also love how it has that "artsy" feel to it). </p>

<p>I have the scores for all of these schools but I really need to figure out which one fits me the best. Any advice?</p>
