OP, were you invited into UVA’s Echols scholar program? If so, it’ll make the flexibility of course selection comparable to Brown (no Gen Ed distribution requirements). Furthermore, you’ll have priority registration and honors housing. Many students often choose to be a Jeff Scholar, or member of the Echols/Rodman honors programs over higher ranked schools including ivies. I know my daughter did four years ago and had never regretted her decision. She will graduate next month and is already lamenting having to leave. It’s been a very rewarding experience. All three are great schools so you really can’t go wrong. Choose the one where you believe you’ll be happiest.
