Thanks for the suggestions! I will definitely research these colleges a bit more and add them to my list.
As for why Penn, I visited the campus last week and it was amazing: the campus was beautiful, the students there also seemed to match me pretty well. As for why CMU, one of the main reasons it’s one of my top choices is because it has a really nice campus, and I love Pittsburgh. The research at CMU also seems a bit more interesting than the research at Penn, so even though Penn is my favorite right now, there’s still a lot of factors where I prefer CMU.
