<p>As it stands I would be lucky to get into one of the following schools. However, lets pretend that I get into all of them. Which one should I go to and why. Brown, Dartmouth, Williams, Amherst are my top 4 choics right now. I will list some of my concerns about each one:</p>
<p>Dartmouth - excellent school, excellent prestigue, great undergraduate attention
HOWEVER - not sure if i like th d-plan system, it is extremeley fratty</p>
<p>Amherst - excellet school, a little less prestigious in non NE parts of the country </p>
<p>Williams - might have a problem with isolation</p>
<p>Brown - has the curriculum i like
HOWEVER - may be too liberal - i dont like the arts at all</p>
<p>Also considering Penn and Cornell (but they are a little too large) and Middlebury (too isolated/not as presigious as williams/amherst)</p>
<p>Please help!</p>
<p>somebody help my brother out. Personally, I would pick Dartmouth because it is an awesome smart party school</p>

<p><em>rolls eyes</em></p>
<p>lol, i'll see if i can offer anything.</p>
<p>dartmouth: (bias here lol, it's my top school) take a look at the d-plan a little more because it offers awesome opportunities if you want to travel or do internships, but it does make the coursework a bit harder i would think because it's crammed into 10 week quarters. yes it is a very fratty school, but don't look at animal house as an example. everyone from there that i've met says that they're all genuinely nice and people dont get left out of the loop because of whether or not they're in a frat. very laid-back and cool people.</p>
<p>amherst: it's very prestigious! lol at least where i come from! don't let that turn you away from a great curriculum that you love. but otherwise dont have much to say here.</p>
<p>williams: isolation happens lol. dartmouth is always pretty isolated. but think of it this way. you have a lot more time to get to know your college and the people on it. from what i get you're looking at small schools and i think that getting to know the people on campus really well is what should be treasured about them. i've known a few people who went to williams. one of them likes the competitive nature of the school. my other friend was so turned off by the uniformity and competitiveness of the school that she transfered (again, her opinion). so i guess keep that in mind.</p>
<p>brown: yes, brown is kind of liberal but the people there are also quite generally nice, and much like dartmouth, i dont think people will exclude you for ideological beliefs. brown is also not just arts. alot of people i know applying there are going for sciences and math. </p>
<p>i think it might help if you posted what you wanted to study in particular</p>
<p>The fact that you're worrying about prestige when choosing between these schools is ridiculous. i honestly dont think you deserve to go to any of them. </p>
<p>especially if you can't spell 'prestige'</p>
<p>If you really feel that the schools are loving you that strongly, Dartmouth sends out likely letters, Williams and Amherst both send out early write letters so all should be coming in the mail soon (if they're really loving you and sweating you that much).</p>
<p>After that visit each school, sit in on a class and then decide which school is the best fit for you.</p>
<p>Otherwise, I would suggest just waiting this out until you actually get an acceptance from any or all these schools (you never know, the of the admissions committees could make the decision for you).</p>
