it’s down to the wire, and I could really use some last minute input…

I’m planning to study Mathematics, and, as the title suggests, it’s between VT, PSU, and BU. What school, in your mind is most prestigous? I really dont’ know how to compare these schools academically because it seems like all of the ranking system are terrible nowadays.

I was the type of student in highschool that took all AP’s and got mid to low A’s in all of them. These were the only schools I was accepted to, so now I have to choose. VT seems to have the coolest campus, but, from what I hear, BU has the prestigue? Does anyone know how the math programs are at these schools?

The most important thing to me is academics. I can find a good social scene at any of these schools, but I want to make sure I get the most out of my 4 years at college. (and, if it matters, I plan to attend graduate school at some point). Any advice would GREATLY be appreciated.

I think I like VT’s campus the most (and sports b/c I’m a HUGe sports fan), but I really want to graduate from a school who’s name has some weight to it.

Thanks so much!
