When you were at Penn last summer, did you get to fully explore the campus while you were there? E.g., inside the Quad, Locust Walk, College Green, Perelman Plaza, the University Museum, The Engineering Quad, the Bio Pond, etc.?

Also, I think the Fall and Spring are the nicest seasons on the Penn campus, for what it’s worth.

In terms of your general decision, as I said before, you really can’t go wrong with any of these three schools–they’re all excellent and will equally help you get wherever you want to go. It sounds like you have a pretty good feel for what each one has to offer. Even though you’ve been to Penn before, I’d recommend that you visit all 3 again (if you’re having a hard time making a decision), ask a alot of questions, see which one “feels” the best–i.e., just generally “kick the tires.” 4 years is a long at this point in your life, and it’s worth spending a few extra days this month to make sure you feel comfortable with where you choose to spend those 4 years. But again, I’m sure you’ll be happy and successful at any of the three, so relax and enjoy!
