<p>Regarding this portion of your post, I think a gut feeling is as good as any towards making a decision. </p>
<p>There is no bad decision here (atleast that I can tell given the limited info). One might be slightly better than the other objectively but not enough to conclusively and definitively say that you should pick Ivy over Rice or vice versa. Go with the place that you think will make you happy - you will not regret it.</p>
