Hello everyone! I’m trying to decide which school to ED/REA at next year, and these are my top 3 choices.

I know this must seem weird, since they are so incredibly different, but each of them has something I love about them:

I want to study IR/politics/economics, so my original top choice was Georgetown. I would love to be in DC for internships, and I feel like Georgetown would set me up for a successful career given its location and prestige internationally.

However, I toured Williams and found that I massively prefered its campus, student life, and culture overall. Plus, I live in Massachussetts and it would be great to stay close to home/within driving distance.

Furthermore, I realized that my legacy/donor status at Stanford will probably give me the biggest chance at getting in there (over G and W), and it would be really hard for me to turn down Stanford’s weather, campus, and elite reputation.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. I honestly don’t care very much about how big/urban the school I go to is, as long as I have good exit opportunities.

Thanks!
