<p>One thing that makes me go hmmmm about your list is that you’ve got lots of really urban schools – MIT in Boston, NYU, Penn, or almost Urban schools – Northwestern. And then you have Dartmouth. Part of finding a fit is finding a place where you want to live and be. I always wonder when I see a list that has both really rural and really urban schools. </p>
<p>If you want “city”, maybe add UChicago or Columbia? If you want rural, then I’m sure there are schools to add too, I’m of the city persuasion, so I’m not as much help there.</p>
