URochester, as a smaller, private school, may offer you a more personal feel than your other choices. This can extend from academics to dining options. You should get enough support here to keep the academics from being overwhelming.

UIUC actually reports higher SAT scores than UCSD and should be at least as academically challenging.

It’s important to study what you find rewarding as an undergraduate, but this is dependent more on courses than major. Cognitive science is often interdisciplinary, even where a major is avaliable. Compare the academic offerings at your schools with this in mind.
