Another way to approach decision-making (with the information you have available to you at the time, so as to avoid hindsight second guessing later) is to follow the adage “don’t live with regret”. When you put 2 schools head to head is to ask yourself “Will I regret it if I let go of “x” (vs “y”) school. If you can’t decide, make a list of the pros and cons of the schools 2 at a time, and see if either one has a heavy weighting for the school or a possible “deal breaker” against it. The negative can even be something as seemingly inconsequential as dorm hall bathrooms or no guaranteed housing after sophomore year, but if you truly can’t decide, those can make a difference.
