Also, good advice from Eileen: Look at the pros from each school and decide which are more important to you. If you're super into lists, then rank each of the pros from 1 to 5 of how important they are and add them up. Or! Do the Kelly Hahn thing and flip a coin to test your deepest desires.

It's like in health, we have to make this health continuum, and rank our actions on the continuum, so smoking crack would be like a 1 and eating an apple and drinking eight glasses of water a day would be a 10, so together would you be completely average health? Fucking no, because smoking crack is way more intense than that other healthy stuff you did. If the social scene is really important to you, then go to the school with the best social scene. If money is a big issue, go to Northwestern. What do you really want? What have you been conditioned to want? What do you think will chang? dk I would choose NU, because you've wanted to go there forever, and 12,000 is fucking incredible. Also the Princeton Review thing can happen anywhere. Just decide which of these things really matter to you. Yeah, that's my advice. Like sometimes I want a million things: prestige, success, etc., but when I think about it harder, I only really care about making friends, being able to walk places/not drive, and having the resources to achieve my goals.

I just don't know yet. I could rank but I feel like there are still so many factors. I'll revisit the list once I've gone to accepted student day thing at NU next weekend and once I've gotten fin aid from umich. I'm just very confused and conflicted about the whole thing and I know I can always transfer but I'd just rather not do that.
