<p>When I first started applying to colleges, I had the same exact list as you. Weird. Anyways, Case is awesome but I’ve heard the quality of life is really poor -there was really nothing else I didn’t like about it - it was my second choice. I ruled out NEOUCOM for exactly what stone said, it was a huge commitment (I want my 4 years of undergrad to be fun and free, not a compressed intense learning hysteria frenzy of death). But if you can handle it, it’s a really awesome program. UChicago would give me the breadth, depth and fun…and in case I decided to change my career goals, a degree from UC is nice. You do have a tough decision to make…I think any choice you make will be great.</p>
