<p>I was accepted to Dartmouth and UVA among other schools last year and ultimately chose UVA. I am also from Houston, so I have many friends who go to Rice and know a lot about the school. Please message me with any questions/ more details about your situation, I might be able to help. Quickly, for what its worth, all three are excellent schools. I had it narrowed down to Dartmouth and UVA, and it was very difficult for me to decide. UVA won because it is a slightly larger school, has a more well-rounded social experience, a more accessible/beautiful/historical location, more classes to choose from, takes more AP/IB credit, is less expensive, and is the most beautiful campus I have ever seen (which includes Dartmouth, Middlebury, Stanford…)</p>
<p>I am SOOOOOOOO happy that I chose UVA. I have an incredible, well-rounded lifestyle. My classes and professors are amazing, I just joined a sorority, I get to study/streak on the lawn, and there is never a lack of parties/philanthropy events/famous speakers. Really look into UVA, and message me with any questions :)</p>
