You started neffing when you were in 4th grade?

no.

damn, had to repeat a few grades? Don't nef away college, you have to pay for that :)

I'd personally choose a state school for the benefit of lower tuition.

These are the current top 10 (by US News)
1. Harvard University (MA)
2. Stanford University (CA)
3. University of Pennsylvania (Wharton)
4. Massachusetts Institute of Technology (Sloan)
5. Northwestern University (Kellogg) (IL)
6. University of Chicago
7. Dartmouth College (Tuck) (NH)
8. University of California--Berkeley (Haas)
9. Columbia University (NY)
10. New York University (Stern)

If you aren't getting into one of the above the rankings below that are not that important.

Meh, it's undergrad...doesn't really matter.

Go where you feel most comfortable (diverse academic, lifestyle, etc). School choice really only matters for post-grad degrees, and then it's specific programs and not so much the actual schools.

Though, if I had to do it over again, I would go further from home

QFT...if you really are going business get in to an undergrad program you can excel at and then get a power business grad school to get you on-board for your MBA.

I will say this...don't look at college as something you have to get over fast. Really enjoy your time there and make friendships and get out and about. Bonds made at this time of your life usually pay off big time as you move on.

I had a blast in Junior College but made the mistake to get married as we both were heading to University of Florida. She was a bit jealous and even my mountain biking club had her thinking I was out screwing coeds. I was in a serious relationship as well when I went to college a second time :(. I think if I ever end up divorced I will go and look to get another degree...just about any college should have more than enough hot women for anyone.
