im graduating in may and am currently deciding between bucknell, denison, auburn, ou, and trinity (TX). i love certain parts of each of these schools but am not sure which will be the perfect fit. i intend to eventually go to med school so i obviously want a place the will prepare me well and provide me with awesome opportunities. i am a national merit finalist so im getting a full ride to both auburn and ou while going to bucknell would cost my family about $30,000 a year; with that said, which of these schools is worth the extra buck?? im also torn between swimming collegiately with offers from bucknell, denison, and trinity… any retired or current college athletes who would persuade me for or against taking part in a varsity sport ?? (im mosstly worried about time management, detracting from my academic focus, not fitting in with college swimmers who are notorious for partying, etc.)

Any advice about these schools would be greatly appreciated!! Thanks!
