Northeastern for sure - Boston is a great college town and Northeastern is very hard to get into congrats (not saying Vtech isn't)

Depends on the major. If engineering, then VT for sure. Better reputation as serious engineering school and long-standing recruiting relationships with strong engineering hires. Northeastern does have that great co-op program but the depth of engineering opportunities normally as deep given how new it’s stronger reputation is.

VA resident. Plans to go to grad school for sports science-related career. Chose these schools based on size but still D1 and campus life.

Davidson without question. The students absolutely love it and the education is incomparable. Plus, the alumni network is incredibly strong. Congrats!!!

Wake is a school for the UMC. Too much signaling with $500 shoes. The super rich do not do that and there were no visibly non UMC kids there.

Totally agree that Davidson is best school and amazing education. But specifically for Sport Science look hard at Wake. For some reason it attracts kids of famous people including sports stars. And has an AI sports science lab well funded. Would only pick that over Davidson if positive of sports path. Would pick Davidson and Wake over other too unless cost is factor.

In terms of fit, DC seems to like Davidson best for its small classes, tight-knit community, and emphasis on honor code but, as you mentioned, Wake has amazing facilities and resources for DC's intended area of study. Really wanted DC to love W&M (in-state tuition doesn't hurt) but is on the fence. Elon, while lesser "known" seems to be up and coming. DC liked the campus vibe. They also have something like a 95% freshman retention rate, which is crazy, for a larger LAC. So students must love it there.

Disagree. I would pick Davidson in a heartbeat over UVA. That school seems to do everything right.

Based on what?? I have family that recently attended (graduated from) both, and the opportunities at and from NEU are much better, OP. NEU has long standing, strong CS and engineering programs. Business and some other programs are stronger at NEU, too. Not many people from this board are familiar first hand with NEU, and it does happen to be a favorite of certain posters who were not admitted, so be aware.

NP. In the spirit of the thread, state your recommendation and move on. You don’t need to persuade everyone.

UMD Honors (instate tuition and great engineering program, but not a great social fit at all)

Princeton (generous aid, Ivy, loves the campus, and residential housing, it's okay as far as social fit)

Northwestern (likes the campus, school culture, great social fit, and engineering program, but hates the weather)

Rice (the best social fit, loves the school culture, and student is a native Houstonian, but the engineering program is not the strongest out of the group)

Go with either Princeton or Northwestern. Trust me.

Can you please elaborate or give specifics. Are you a Princeton or Northwestern alum?

Math major, likely double major with a social science
Values the scholarship and learning above all. Wants to be among smart people really interested in learning. Doesn’t care about frats or social atmosphere, doesn’t care about sports. Wants a diverse campus.

Based purely on that description, Case Western

+1
incredible diversity at Case
