<p>I'm absolutely ecstatic with even the fact that I get the privilege to make this decision, but I need some guidance as to what to do! thanks in advance!!</p>

<p>I got admitted to all three schools yesterday and I don't know which to choose-- I'm hoping to study environmental engineering and business (double major, I think-- which is why I thought M&T would be a great fit), but now I'm having second thoughts!</p>

<p>any advice would be greatly appreciated! :)</p>

<p>anyway, I guess the three competing programs would be </p>

<p>1) Yale: Master's in Environmental Management (5-year program, apply as a sophomore)</p>

<p>2) Columbia: Earth Resources Engineering (joint degree between School of Business and SEAS; apply for during graduate school round of applications)</p>

<p>3) Penn: M&T-- Environmental Engineering (SEAS) and business degree (Wharton)</p>

<p>Congratulations! As you cannot go wrong with any of those schools, I would pick the school that you like best, the one that feels most like home, and the one that gives you the best financial aid!</p>

<p>The Penn program is very prestigious but limiting. You’ll have great job prospects when you graduate, but very little chance to take classes outside your concentration unless you also go to summer school, for more money. IMO, college should give you the chance to study things you wouldn’t otherwise be exposed to… but congratulations! This is a terrific dilemma to have!</p>
