I like offbeat institutions, classics, engineering, vocational & religious programs, and mostly dislike big cities.
You sound like a serial killer
This is mean and wrong, but I laughed.

Went to UMich. Much too big for me. Would now pick:
- Amherst
- Williams
- Bates
- Colby
- maybe Tufts
Would have majored in econ, the off to get an MBA.

If you have the stats to make Williams/Amherst/Swarthmore a possibility, there's no way you'd seriously go to Montana State.
I dunno, the hypothetical list in my mind includes a lot of different kinds of experiences. Such a shame we only get to try on one life. There are a million potentially interesting ones. I guess that’s why it’s so important to keep an open mind and consider ideas and perspectives different from our own. It’s the closest we get to living more than the one life we’re given.

I think I’d still go to my big state school, just do it differently. Take a more career-focused path. I didn’t get a “real” job until after I got my master’s.

It would be my safety
CU-Boulder would make more sense as a safety. No way you're getting rejected there with stats that make you even remotely competitive for Dartmouth/Cornell. Montana State is a safety for CU-Boulder hopefuls.

I would have attended a smaller school. Maybe even a service academy. I did ROTC at a flagship, and two things happened: I was lost in the crowd and while I liked my time in the military, I would have personally found it harder to leave had I attended an academy (leaving was the wrong decision).
