[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Do you want to live in a city or not? What major are you interested in? What extracurriculars? What type of social life? Do you want to live off campus at some point? Is independent work (ie, thesis) appealing to you. Would you like the option of double majoring?

If you have no preference and can't choose among four different schools, you haven't done enough research.[/quote]

Fwiw, I knew I wanted Princeton for the emphasis on undergrad education, strength of its humanities depts, small size, and suburban location. I was admitted early. Was also admitted reg decision to other HYS schools but revisits confirmed my impressions regarding fit.

Also, these schools are not "all perfect." (Sibs attended others). They are resource rich and offer some great opportunities, but like all institutions, they have flaws and some students will have an unhappy, tough experience. I knew kids who transferred out and others who were miserable. You need to know what it is you are looking for in your education.[/quote]
