Honestly I was having a hard time picking between the ivy league schools bc a) most are pretty close to me so not too far from home and b) I could see merits I really liked for each one of them. It helps that after my girls state/girls nation experience I had mentors going to those schools who were able to show me around a bit around the campuses! I also decided not to apply to Princeton and columbia but will be applying to stanford (given that my research mentor is moving to stanford and will be having her own center there that I want to be in). Sorry if I wasn’t specific enough in my original post
