Which sounds like the best for me

College Search & Selection
1

<p>Vanderbilt- The fit is perfect and Nashville is great, but there is no separate business school.</p>

<p>Richmond- Most of what I want, but I wish the sports were a teeny bit bigger.</p>

<p>Penn- Wharton would be tough to pass up, but it would be tough to give up big sports and the South (weather, culture, politics, and food).</p>

<p>Tulane- I love the Altman program, but my dad really does not want me to be in New Orleans. Also, slightly lower sports.</p>

<p>Alabama, Oklahoma- They are offering me full scholarships, and I like the sports and the honors colleges. But, I worry about the size, lower prestige, and party culture.</p>

<p>Kentucky- Same as UA and OU, but I was also accepted into a selective program that fits well; however, I can't picture myself a Kentucky basketball fan.</p>

<p>Drexel- They are offering a full scholarship, and I like the opportunity to work abroad in the co-op program, but I hate the lack of a campus (and of a football team). Also, it is not in the South.</p>

<p>Bucknell- The global management program is great, and the community is nice, but it is too isolated, cold (I like to wear shorts year-round), and partying. </p>

<p>Davidson- I love the community, the traditions, and the passion for the basketball team. However, it is too small, and does not give me all of the academic opportunities I want.</p>

<p>Miami- It has a lot of what I want, but I have heard that many people are not 100% committed to the college experience. I also have the impression that a non-nerd, non-partier would not have a home there. I would like living in Miami, though.</p>

<p>Baylor- They are also offering me a full ride, and, while I like medium-sized schools with big sports, and programs in international business, I am not a devout Protestant. I do like the Conservative politics, though.</p>

<p>South Carolina- A lot holds true between this, UA, and OU, but, due to applying late, I cannot immediately get into the honors college. However, its reputation for international business helps it a lot.</p>

<p>My hope is that someone could read this and tell me which seem best for me (if all do accept me). Thank you!</p>

<p>How on earth is the food in the non major Southern cities better than the food in Philadelphia? Also, I don’t see why you’re particularly concerned about the politics at a place like UPenn. The school has a healthy mix of all types of students, although there are more liberals than conservatives since young people tend to be more liberal. Frankly, I think a school which sources students who were leaders in political clubs from across the country is far more interesting than a school where students have some vague idea about politics and just identify with a particular party out of convenience. Plus, UPenn’s reputation and its incredibly deep resources means it can bring in leaders from across the US and even the world to speak on various issues. </p>

<p>By the way, for most freshmen, Oklahoma isn’t a party school. Tulane, Vanderbilt, and Miami have much more prominent drinking scenes than OU does. </p>

<p>The food is great in Philly. The only thing is that I live in Philly, so I can get a cheesesteak when I go home. I already weeded out the schools that were too liberal for me. All of the ones that I applied yo are at least passable in that regard. </p>

<p>I don’t see how you turn down Wharton unless you can’t afford it. Cheer for the Eagles lol.</p>
