<p>I have been blessed to have been accepted to many wonderful colleges, and so far I have narrowed down the list to three amazing schools. I am interested in history/politics and law, so at Pomona and Stanford I applied as an IR major and at Georgetown I was accepted to GC (yes, i know...not SFS) as a Government major. </p>
<p>I plan on going to law school eventually, but I want a well-rounded undergraduate education. Stanford and Pomona have both given me basically full rides, and I am leaning towards these two though I have never been to Cali (I am visiting this month from NYC). Georgetown costs $10,000 more, but it's location (Washington, DC) is appealing, especially with my interests. </p>
<p>I have fallen in love with both Pomona (it's personalized attention, LAC, consortium) and Stanford (along with Brown, where I was waitlisted) has been my dream school for years and is one of the best schools in the world.</p>
<p>This decision is very difficult. Any help/advice would be appreciated. Thank you!</p>
<p>I would suggest Stanford. It's an outstanding all-around school in a much nicer setting than smoggy Pomona. Yes, you'll get a lot of personalized attention at Pomona, but Standford is also well known for its student-oritented customer service. Of all three, Georgetown is I think the most interesting place to live -- but not worth the extra money since a school the caliber of Stanford is willing to give you a full ride. </p>
<p>Congratulations on these acceptances!</p>
<p>You can't turn Stanford down for those other two. It was your dream school for years and it has come true. Pomona College is a nice suburb (Claremont) but it is not really in L.A. You would need a car for sure unless you wanted to stay in the Claremont bubble which is not really very big at all, ESPECIALLY if you are from NYC. At Stanford, you can actually take a train into San Fran and San Jose. It takes about 45 min to an hour. Although, Palo Alto is its own "bubble" the campus is just wonderful. Most students in California choose Stanford, unless they want the tiny liberal arts experience. Personally, this would be a no brainer, Stanford.</p>
