Am I justifiably terrified?, 2005...2005...2005... Options

[*CrackedRearView*]

I have 1,000 different directions I can take.

ACT: 35 composite
SAT I: 1520 composite

The list goes on of activities, GPA, etc, etc.

I can pretty much go anywhere I want to go, but I've narrowed it down to 3 schools on each coast that I've been accepted to.

Please, help me. And take into consideration cost, retaining a social life, etc. All are huge factors for me.

WEST COAST

University of California: Berkeley
Pepperdine
Stanford University

EAST COAST

The Johns Hopkins University
University of Princeton
New York University

(all of these, East and West coast, are with the assumption that after 4 years, I will transfer to the Massachussetts Institute of Technology; my lifelong dream)

I'm visiting the campus at the University of California: San Diego over Christmas break, as well. I might even just head there because my entire family lives in Corona del Mar.

You see my problem? So indecisive...this sucks...

[mirage]

Now now, let's not get too cocky.

lolz, i agree. I think you should try for MIT if it's your "lifelong dream"... but do you know what their expectations are? anyways, princeton is good, better than nyu or some of the others you have there.
