<p>I'm a pretty good student. I've taken plenty of honors and AP classes, and I have decent test scores.
Big name schools don't matter too much to me, but I don't want to feel like I've wasted my time in high school by going to a school that admitted half of my graduating class.
But, maybe that shouldn't bother me if I like the school.</p>
<p>I've been accepted to:
UW (Honors)
USC
Boston College (I liked it... until I realized that it's going to cost me about twice as much as these other schools)
Gonzaga University (Not Honors...)
Seattle U
LMU (Honors)
Santa Clara
Western Washington University (Honors)</p>
<p>I've always liked Gonzaga, but they accepted so many people from my class... it kind of made me think less of them.</p>
<p>I really need help. I think Gonzaga would be great because I could study TESL as an undergrad... but I want to be challenged as well. Should I just forget about everyone else and go there, or should I go to UW, USC, or somewhere else because I'll be surrounded by a higher caliber of students?</p>
<p>Personal experiences at any of these schools, comments on how ridiculous (or completely understandable) my thought process is, or any other advice would be greatly appreciated.</p>
