Princeton vs Others (for Engineering/CS)

<p>I was rather fortunate to have been admitted to five fantastic schools: Johns Hopkins Engineering, UPenn Engineering, Carnegie Mellon (Engineering School), Cooper Union, and Princeton. As the title of this thread states, I am likely going to do Electrical/Mechanical/Software Engineering or Computer Science at these schools.</p>

<p>At this point, I am pretty much set on Princeton, but I wanted to know if there are any arguments that might convince me (and my parents) to reconsider.</p>

<p>To explain my choice of Princeton:
Of my five choices, Princeton is the second closest geographically, is first in overall education, and offers an intrinsic +10 bonus to first impressions with its name. Though it ranks third on my list in terms of pure E/CS curriculum, I feel its advantages give it leverage over Cooper and Carnegie.</p>

<p>So, is there anything wrong with my thought process/decision that could make me reevaluate my choices?</p>

<p>How do your finances shake out? If you can go to Princeton without accumulating a lot of debt, it’s a great opportunity.</p>
