Thanks everyone!

@booyou-I have visited all three schools and researched them pretty thoroughly so I know what kind of approaches to academics I’m dealing with. The problem is that I keep going back and forth about what I think I want out of my experience. NYC seems incredibly enticing to me, but I really did enjoy the feel of Providence when I was at Brown. At the same time, I thought Stanford had the most incredible campus.

My academic interests are varied enough to enjoy the core at Columbia, but I can also see myself enjoying the flexibility of Brown for the same reason. In short, I think I can see myself at all three schools, but the idea of choosing one of their early programs seems like a good idea to me because of the (potential) boost it might give me. Because I’m so indecisive, I was hoping I would be able to find a little outside perspective to sway me in one direction or another.
