<p>What everyone is trying to tell you, Humboldt, but you just don’t want to believe it, is that you really have to pick a school that will help you mature, help you find your calling, and leave you feeling you made the best decision possible given that no one has a crystal ball. In that regard, based on your posts, I would clearly say Dartmouth or Wash U, and given that I still think you would regret not having the Ivy name associated with yours, you should go with Dartmouth. You will sleep better tonight if you just make that decision and move on.</p>
