Math Major - UC Berkeley or UCLA or Georgia Tech or NYU for Out of state

I have a friend who is not sure about which would be the best option for him. He is accepted at UC Berkeley, UCLA, NYU, and Georgia Tech - all out of state colleges for him. He plans to Major in Math, particularly Applied Math. Can someone help make the choice? Mainly he wants some insight in comparing the academics at these schools.

They’re all great choices. Maybe your friend should look at professor profiles, see if anyone’s philosophy jives with his personal interests or at least peaks his interest? Maybe he could email the department heads if he has questions that might help him make up his mind.
