<p>What NYU school did you apply to? The only one I would even consider is Gallatin. Gallatin mayyyyyyyy be better than Wellesley or Smith, depending on how much being in NYU will help whatever you want to do (internships, the city, etc.). </p>
<p>I can’t speak for Brandeis, but like the previous poster said academically Wellesley is better than all those schools. But I would still consider the nonacademic things (all womens vs. not, location, city or suburban, overall feel and also whatever specific things you want to study). Wellesley has a great study abroad program, if you’re into that.</p>
