<p>fierydemise - Is UR a significantly better school than UW for electrical engineering? If it is not much better, the overall reputation of UW will help you for job/grad school placement. How much do you want to get out of state, or is that a non-issue? If you don’t care, I’d suggest UW. </p>
<p>Rister_Chutophs - What are you planning on majoring in? Either way, each college will have a great program for it (though some more renowned than others) Duke would be the school with the best social life and school spirit and best weather. U Penn is in the city and quite large (compared to the others) Brown has the liberal collegey feel to it with open curriculum. Providence is gorgeous from what I hear. Have you visited each campus? This would probably tell you where you want to go. I bet a Duke student, Penn student, and Brown student are all equally intelligent and qualified but have very different personalities. Find the one you relate to most.</p>
<p>Goofball21 - In the academic world, going to Haverford is like going to Brown or Wash U. It is very well respected and on par with the Ivies. If two of your other choices were Georgetown and Amherst, I bet you’d fit in best at Haverford too.</p>
<p>greatgirls - This is probably not the answer you want, but any of those choices will offer your daughter what she is looking for. Wash U and Brown seem to be small enough to provide the intimate atmosphere she might like at the LACs. Since all would be great, look at location and personality of the student body. I imagine it’s more cutthroat at Wash U than the others, but that might be contained to Pre-med students. Wash U is St. Louis (obviously) and is an urban area. Davidson would probably have the best weather being in North Carolina and is a suburban area. Brown is in Providence and a generally colder place than the others. Do you come from the northeast or will she have to adjust to the cold? Find out how students at each of these schools have fun. Do they go into the surrounding area or do they stay on campus? Is the greek system highly influential? How does she feel about that? etc.</p>
<p>Megannia - If you love big cities and don’t mind the occasional snowflake, American sounds like a great place to be. DC, anyone? What do you mean you’ll start with a major in Anthropology? What are you eventually hoping to do? If you are interested in politics or law in any way, American would be the better choice because of location and internship opps. Once the final financial packages come, the choice will be clearer. </p>
<p>ubetteraccept_me - Nice username, btw. What are you hoping to major in? Either way, Emory has something like 5000 undergrads while UNC has closer to 20000. That is a very different environment. Smaller means more intimate classes and environment all together but could be too small and restricts you from meeting as many people as you had hoped. You might find yourself talking to the same people all the time. I doubt that would happen, but it is possible. Larger means always finding new people, but the possibility of being lost as a number in a sea of numbers. I imagine the social life at these two schools to be very differnt also. What do they do for fun? Do you feel like you would be interested in those same things? I hope Northwestern comes through for you.</p>
<p>Good luck to everyone.</p>
