<p>I have made it to the semi-finals for a $100,000 dollar scholarship, which is limited to Claremont Mckenna, Grinnell, Dickinson, and University of Wisconsin-Madison. I now have to rank these in order of preferance for an interview with the organization. (<a href="http://www.possefoundation.org%5B/url%5D">www.possefoundation.org</a>) Of these, i have least interest in Dickinson. I can not make a decision about the other 3 though.
U of W-M: Interests me because it is the only public school, which has 30,000 undergrads. I like being around alot of people..however I cannot build the kind of relationships with other students or teachers as I could at the others.
CMC- I can stay at home with my family because it is within driving distance. Only 1000 students, but get<br>
more attetion.
Grinell- Also small - 1500 students. Is in Iowa so I would be leaving my entire family, but I am willing to do this in pursuit of my dreams.</p>
<p>well. this is a very opinionated question. i would think that only you would know yourself and what social environment you'd want to be in. as for school rankings in order of academics, i don't really know. but let's say if they were all equal in academics, prestige, and all that, i'd pick U-WM, because im a very social person and i guess i like a school where it's big because it would be full of activities, social events, parties =D. haha. but of course, education first, so....yeap. hopefully i helped in a way..</p>
<p>didn't you just answer your own question?
1.cmc- closer to home
2. grinnell -(you're not sure if you'd like iowa but you know grinnell is the most pretigious in this group)
3. uw-madison- difficulty building relationships
4. dickinson- you are 'least' interested</p>
