<p>Hi everyone,</p>
<p>I'm faced with a pretty big dilemma here on which of these three excellent schools to choose and I figure that you could help me decide. I am into the Olin School of Business and Engineering School for WashU, I got into Engineering Honors at Texas (my home state), and was Waitlisted at Vanderbilt for engineering. I applied engineering to all three schools but am not sure that it is truly what I want to do. My next option would be business or economics. Assuming I get into Vanderbilt, which of these schools do you think is the best for what I want to do. I also care a lot about the social scene at each school and am looking to join a fraternity most likely. I know WashU is ranked the highest on US news and World Report but Vanderbilt is closely after. My biggest complaint about WashU is that I hear a lot of the people there tend to be introverted and I don't know if I would have a lot of fun there. As for Texas, the engineering school is great, and ranked very highly, but I don't know how it compares to those of WashU and Vanderbilt. Also at Texas, even though I love the college football scene, I'm afraid I would get lost in the crowd. As for Vanderbilt, I really love the school setting in Nashville, but have heard that it isn't particularly strong in Engineering. I realize this post is kind of disorganized, and that probably reflects my difficulty with this decision. I would like it though if you could help me decide on a school based on the following criteria.</p>
<ol>
<li>Quality of education for engineering</li>
<li>Professional reputation (what do employers think of it,particularly for engineering)</li>
<li>Social Scene (nightlife, frats, etc.)</li>
<li>Quality of general education</li>
<li>Nationwide reputation</li>
<li>Sports</li>
<li>Intermurals</li>
</ol>
<p>Thanks for your help</p>
