I’m sorry to read you are not happy with your acceptances. As others said, they are all strong schools academically, so you have done very well in that regard. But it sounds like the financials and campus vibe are not fits for you. That is tough. I hope you receive good news next week from a better fit school.

I agree with the previous comments about the pros and cons of the three options you have presented… so without additional information IMO it is in your best interest to choose a college option and do your best to get involved on that campus.

If you do want more detailed feedback, you will need to give us a bit more information. What is your target budget (taking no more than the $27k student loans)? Do you qualify for need-aid or will you need merit to meet your budget? What do you want in a college experience (size, location, weather, politics, sports, etc.)?
