<p>Congratulations! Great choices… have you had a chance to visit any of these schools? I definitely second the recommendation to talk to your parents about finances once the financial aid information comes in (if it hasn’t yet). Then, you will know of your acceptances, which ones are possible. You certainly could visit (or revisit) both Berkeley and Stanford pretty easily. I also agree that once financial factors have been considered you will want to think about things like class sizes, size of school per pkdof13.</p>
