<p>Berkeley. Disregard the username, ha.</p>

4

<p>georgetown, michigan ross preferred admit, nyu stern, rutgers full ride</p>

5

<p>I would pick NU over those schools too
Many excellent schools there; I just think NU offers the most appealing combination of quality of education and quality of life/environment
Very subjective. I couldn't blame anyone for picking one of the other schools.
Having to choose between them would be a "high class problem," as the saying goes</p>

6

<p>UC Berkeley, LA, Davis, SD
USC
Boston University</p>

<p>My D was accepted in BU, U Pitt, Case and a couple of smaller local schools, and waitlisted in NU.
She had signed up for Case, and when NU came through last week, she took it.</p>

<p>i strongly agree with WCASParent, good point</p>

<p>"I just think NU offers the most appealing combination of quality of education and quality of life/environment"</p>

<p>this is something a lot of the ivies dont even have. NU has a very well-rounded student body with a diversity of talent and backgrounds. i liek being around so many high-achievers in such a vast variety of disciplines. being around Big 10 athletes is also refreshing. and the social scene at NU trumps most other Top 20 schools-- tons of undergrads love to party and have fun, which is indicated by the fact that 1/3 of the campus is Greek</p>

<p>that said, i dont think anyone would pick NU over a top ivy, unless youre HPME/MMSS</p>

11

<p>USC, UMich-ann arbor, carnegie mellon, UC Irvine (it was a tough choice har har), BU</p>
