<p>Good evening ccers! I heard back from the last of the last of my applications and here's what I got (where I got in):</p>

<p>Tufts
UVA
Northwestern
WashU St. Louis
UMD honors (in-state tuition, probably some cash too)
Brown (waiting list)</p>

<p>I've visited all except UVa, and I know that the feel of the school matters a ton; still, I'd be interested in you have to say as to which school would be best for a prospective student (probably in the sciences, physics particularly) in your opinion.</p>

<p>Hope all went well on this fateful night;</p>

<p>You can’t go wrong with any of these schools, especially in the sciences. I’m biased (I go to Tufts), so I say go there! Seriously though, if any of them just FEEL right, go there. If not, Brown, Tufts, and Northwestern all have similar vibes (laid-back, students really enjoy learning, not super cutthroat competitive). Not sure what the atmosphere is like at Wustl, UVA, and UMD. </p>

<p>Did you apply for financial aid? If so, I’d choose UMD or one of the privates over OOS tuition at UVA - I personally don’t think OOS tuition is worth it, even at a school like UVA. If money isn’t an issue, than disregard this advice. </p>

<p>If you have any questions about Tufts (or Brown, I’m pretty familiar with the school), feel free to PM me!</p>

<p>If they’re all cheap/affordable…then push for Brown as hard as you can. Or else, go to Northwestern :)</p>

<p>They’ have and amazing undergrad college.</p>

<p>For sciences, I would choose WUSTL. Congrats!</p>

<p>Actually, for physics, the physical sciences - especially chemistry, and related engineering fields Northwestern is strongest across the board.</p>

<p>decided for tufts. no regrets. brown would be nice but im really happy with tufts; i went to the april open house and really liked the people and classes i took.</p>

<p>it came down to tufts and nwern, but i decided that the better academic reputation of nwern didn’t matter as much as all of the qualities i liked about tufts–boston, the size, the people, boston, and the close proximity to boston. </p>

<p>so… tufts it is (unless i hear back from brown).</p>
