For the difference in price, I’d go with Elizabethtown.
Pace is 11k a year more, and over 4 years, that’s 44k difference.
Elizabeth town is more of a residential campus, while Pace is known to be more of a commuter school.
It might be easier t make friends and be part of a community at E’town.
With a 3.7 and a 29, you could get into lots of schools. But can you afford them? That’s the question.
Lots of students with good grades and test scores go to less prestigious schools because they get merit scholarships to those schools and it’s what they can afford.
My D actually looked into Elizabethtown, briefly, when she thought she might apply to schools in Ohio and Pennsylvania. Her test scores are also above the average for E’town but we were looking for small colleges where she could get significant merit to bring down costs. A lot of people do that, you would not be the only one.
There are a whole bunch of small LACs and public universities on the East Coast you could apply to, now (if they’re still making apps and merit money is still available) or next fall.
You seem to be very interested in studying abroad and languages. You could apply to Arcadia in Philadelphia, now or next fall.
Also, Goucher College in Baltimore.
You might have good chances at any of the “Colleges that Change Lives” schools. That’s the name of a book. Check it out at the library. Ot look up the website - Colleges That Change Lives.
