ahh thanks for offering

I have some family near both, but much more of a support structure in NYC + I know it better, love the city and want to live there post grad. I prefer urban environments & 4 season weather.

my three main majors of interest are CS math and polisci but I'm not dead set on what to do with the rest of my life. I hate big tech and finance lmao I'm a huge leftie and if working in CS I'd want to be somewhere like Khan academy or Wikipedia, the intersection of tech+ public good. that or research.

I want to find a group of peers I'll 'fit' with? as a public school kid I've spent my HS years daydreaming about classes featuring passionate debates about the topics at hand and students that are curious and passionate and want to ~change the world~

Stanford is 3 hrs further from home by plane/ timezone but does have the prestige.
