MIT VS M&T ( Jerome Fisher Program at Penn)

I am admitted to MIT ,Jerome Fisher Program and Stanford.

Thinking of great advantages each school has, I am so confused and cannot

make a choice! Please Help me!

P.S. If anyone attending MIT..sees this thread, please give me an advise...
and.. I would like to know how the atmosphere is different...among the schools. And... how's the campus? I know Philadelphia and Sanfrancisco is beautiful.

Philadelphia sucks. So does Penn. Go to Boston.

i'm not making your choice for you. [insert irked rant about people who phrase their questions as demands]

i know nothing about penn, except that a graduating friend from philly is now (surprised at herself, but) returning to penn. but she's in math, and a grad student. i'd argue that boston trumps pretty much anywhere, as a city with an incredible number of college students. look around, there's plenty of threads on the atmosphere (hint: work damn hard, party even harder), the campus (i don't think it's ugly here, but i also don't really care, and as noted, i like boston), and all sorts of reasons to go here; if you have more specific questions, ask, but i suggest you look around. what're you interested in studying?

M&T is dual business and engineering --> ranking wise #1 and #20-something, respectively

MIT you can dual major in sloan business and engineering very easily--> ranking wise #2 and #1, respectively

making your choice from pure ranking perspective, it should be simple

I would just say that going to Stanford because you think San Francisco is beautiful is a bit of a red herring to me. Penn is right in Philly, Boston is just a T-ride away from Cambridge, but the jaunt from Palo Alto to 'Frisco is not exactly trivial.
