<p>Ok, I'm an average asian guy with mediocre grades (by CC standards). I didn't think I'd get into any of the liberal arts schools I applied to (Wesleyan, Midd, Ham, and Colgate), but I got into Hamilton and Middlebury (W T F...Midd? With 1340/1600 SATs and a terrible essay?).</p>
<p>Anyway, Im getting 19k to go to Hamilton and 24k to go to Midd.</p>
<p>It seems like a no brainer...Midd is better overall and Im getting more dough...but Ham is much closer to home and I had my heart set on it since I never expected to get into Midd anyways.</p>
<p>I dont want to sound like a quitter, but I don't know if I can handle the academics at Midd since it's clearly out of my league, though I doubt that Hamilton will be that much easier.</p>
<p>Im planning to major in chemistry and minor in music.</p>
<p>Any opinions?</p>
