No, you are not a horrible person. But given that you have to call them tomorrow, you should probably find out where you want to go rather quickly.

A friend of mine struggled between going to one of HYP and Williams. That friend felt at home at Williams, but wanted to want to go to Princeton because people were pushing my friend in that direction. That person ultimately went to Williams, and I’m sure will do very well there. Another turned down HYP in order to go to a smaller but respected LAC.

The purpose of this story is to go where you want to go, not where people tell you to go or CC tells you to go or where the USNews tells you to go. Go where you WANT to. If Georgetown seems appealing to you because of its academics, it’s in DC, or whatever, go there. Same for Villanova.

If you honestly care about prestige, then obviously go for Georgetown. It’s also your dream school. But that is subject to change. If you are excited about Villanova and feel like you SHOULD be excited about Georgetown but aren’t, then I think you can tell where you should go.
