I’m really sorry that I’m putting this up because I don’t like it when others put stuff like this up, but I really need help.

Out of the colleges I have gotten into, I have narrowed it down to these three. I have researched about all of these colleges, but I will not have the chance to visit before the deadline.

Vassar: no core curriculum (i like that)
uneven male to female ratio (do not like this, being a female… )
while some say i would be the perfect vassar girl (i don’t know why), i find the college maybe a little too liberal
the vassar bubble

Colby: it is in the middle of nowhere, but i think i would be able to adjust
it is the smallest school out of the three
there is something called the maine assistance program affiliated with Tufts which guarantees students who follow the program a spot in Tufts Medical School, in case i do want to go into science

Colgate: the neighborhood seems homely
Greek system is pretty big (i don’t know if that’s a plus or a minus)

I know that all these schools are great and I’ve chosen to apply here for a reason. but I don’t know what to do. Not one school seems to have an edge on the other. Any advice you have or information would be greatly appreciated. You can pm me if you wish.

Some information about me:
I’m from a small town in long island. I’m think i want to go to med school, but nothing is certain. I’m a pretty well rounded student. I’ve been taking all ap’s in high school, but i’ve recently realized that i do not want to go to an overly competitive college. if you need more information, just let me know.
