<p>it seems like all the schools to which you are thinking of applying are very different from one another. besides the prestigious names, what attracts you to them? btw, you are a very strong candidate. any favorites among the list?</p>

<p>My favorites are probably Stanford, Duke, UPenn, and Vandy. I decided to include the majority of these schools on my list because they are strong in economics or business. However, I know that a few (Vandy, UM, and UF) are not that strong in those areas. I am applying to Vandy because everyone that I know who goes there loves it and when I went to visit it I loved it. I am applying to UF and UM because those are the best schools close to home. UF is also my state school so its cheaper. GW was a typo its no longer on my college list.</p>
