Need Your Advice: WUSTL (Full-ride) Vs. Dartmouth Vs Northwestern

<p>Thank you people. I have not visited any of the campuses except for Stanford and UC Berkeley. </p>

<p>I did a lot of researches. I realized that Wash.U. is even more an amazing school that I thought. I am also thinking of NYU BA/DDS (7 year Doctor of Dental Science) Program. How do you think of going to NYU? I prefer living in a matropolitan area like NYC than rural, but always schools quality matters much more than where it is located (For example, Dartmouth is in rural area but it would not be a big problem).</p>

<p>On my list,</p>

<p>Most likely:
Dartmouth (D-Plan, Undergrad focus)
Wash.U. No doubt that it is one of the premiere academic higher education institutions in the United States. I heard that TAs teach some of the big lecture at Wash.U., True?
Northwestern Not enough information at this moment.
Notre Dame
UC Berkeley UCLA (As a californian, they are always good options and UCLA is in one of my favorate locations, Los Angels)-grade deflation is a minus, though.
NYU DDS Program (scholarship (not free though) location and I can be a dentist!)</p>

<p>Maybe:
Fordham (Free and location, NYC, but NYU seems a better school)
Harvey Mudd (At this moment, I’d say Berkeley though+expensive+grade deflation)
Vandy and Emory
JHU (No financial aid makes me turn down JHU)</p>

<p>I am not sure what is wrong with being ambitious and asking for advice on CC. BTW, albeit it is not even worth to argue with someone silly, I am not like studying machine high schooler. In fact, I am a high school graduate who did some incredible things for his age. Perhaps, that’s one of the reason I got into many great school. I am an unique, different, and motivated person.</p>
