Hello everyone. I just found out I received the Singer Scholarship and Foote Fellowship at the University of Miami. I’m very torn between this offer and my acceptance to Georgetown. The money isn’t a huge deal; I know my parents have my entire tuition laid aside already. I’ve visited Miami but I haven’t visited Georgetown yet. Literally any input on either of these schools would be super helpful! At Miami, I’m concerned about several points. I don’t want to go to a school where the social scene is dominated by Greek life. I’m worried I’ll be attending a less prestigious university or I may not get as good of an education. I also don’t want to feel alienated at Miami for being smart (which I definitely feel at my high school now). At Georgetown, I’m worried about the lack of freedom in class selection. I’m also worried about falling into obscurity at Georgetown. I consider myself a leader of my high school and the entire administration knows me by name. I don’t know if I’m ready to feel like “just another student.” Once again any input is valuable. If I said something inaccurate, please feel free to tell me. Thanks!
