In-state for California but money isn’t a big issue although the Smith’s scholarship is nice.
Denied by Georgetown and absolute zero hope for Ivy Day.
Where would you go, and why?
If money is not an issue, then Wesleyan. It’s a great, one-stop, standalone college with incredible depth and reach in its curriculum for its size.
Some of us might only have been able to choose between two of your options. So between those two, I’d prefer Wesleyan. For a reason, you could access a study such as, “How the instructional and learning environment at liberal arts colleges enhance cognitive development,” which relates to the reason you will be attending college. Good luck with your decision.
