I got into Cornell, Georgetown, and UCLA. Which one should I attend?

I have Cornell a hair ahead of Georgetown both due to the number of available majors and for their reputation of rigor. But Georgetown is outstanding too.

Both will offer smaller classes and probably better career services than UCLA. You could insert any other state school – i’m not just picking on UCLA.

If you must have the California monoseason climate and D1 athletics in every sport, UCLA is the choice. If you want a more intimate academic environment featuring more contact with profs, Georgetown or Cornell is the choice.

If you chose between Cornell and Georgetown, you’d want to look at available majors and environment as two main decision drivers.

UCLA is a very popular state school, but it is not better than Cornell or Georgetown, nor probably as good, for undergraduate education.
