Hi @KashDog , are there any special circumstances that warrant your later-than-usual SIR?
If not, one or more of the colleges may be lenient with you if you call or visit the undergraduate admissions office!

In any case, to answer your question:

It depends on SO many factors. Probably in the following order:

Which college offers the best program for your major?
Which college will provide you with the most resources/internships/research opportunities?
Are all the colleges financially feasible?
Are you looking for a certain population of people with a similar religion or ideology?
Are sports important to you?
Is a certain weather, the presence of nature, or living in a city or small college town conducive to good mental health?

Let us know what you decide!
