<p>OMG I can't believe someone as smart as you would seriously consider all this ridiculous advice you're getting here -- or even solicit it for that matter. The schools you're considering are all vastly different and every single one of them will provide you with a great education. This is about what YOU want and what's best for YOU. Talk to your family. Your teachers. Friends who know you. Consider most seriously your gut feeling. Then make your decision on that, not even taking into account what a bunch of name-brand-driven strangers on a board like this have to offer.</p>
