Have you lived out east before? Do you want to end up out here? Do you prefer urban? I think UPITT is a nice option and @ucbalumnus had some great intel about the differences between it and UVA (also a good option). Pitt students can cross register at CMU, which is another plus.

I agree that Stoneybrook has a rep for being a commuter school and I might cross it off for that reason.

Is there any particular benefit of attending the California private school in terms of internships or relationships in Silicon Valley? If not, I’d bag it. If you want warm and dry weather, I’d pick ASU.

In any case where you’ve received merit, look closely at what the requirements are to maintain it.
