<p>My D has many acceptances including Wake Forest, Loyola, W&M, and University of Del. Finances played a part, but in the end she went with UDel. It took 3 visits, but in the end it all came together…great scholarship, perfect size, great business department, great vibe, pretty campus, and just the right distance from home. </p>
<p>I would encourage you to not worry about the nuances of the reputations of the schools 5 years from now. Every school you mentioned is a fine school. Pick the one that feels right for you at this stage of your life. Oh, no need to go deep in debt…plenty of time for that in grad school. </p>
<p>One more thing…don’t worry about having enough to do. I can tell you are a serious student, so that will be your focus. You will see, a few good friends to hang out with, a club/activity or two, some community service, time at the gym, and you will be plenty busy even at the tiniest school. </p>
<p>BTW, my choice for my daughter was W&M, her mother’s choice was Loyola (Maryland), but alas she chose UDel. We are all perfectly at piece with her choice and it is a great feeling. Good luck and trust your instincts. I can tell you are a smart girl.</p>
