Should I attend the school with the strongest student body

<p>I don’t have that high of stats, a mere 2.8 GPA with a 21 ACT, but I do have three varsity sports, and a lot of community service. These last two years, something must have kicked in, because all of a sudden, I’m taking 4 AP’s my senior year, and making a 3.5 GPA. I was accepted in to U. Nebraska some time ago, and was just today accepted into St. Louis University. Should I attend SLU, because it has a stronger student body and is ranked higher?</p>

<p>You should just visit the schools and see which one you like better in erms of atmosphere, etc. Also check out the department of the major you are most interested in. The ranking are not that far apart.</p>
