But I have noticed a personality type that is more prevalent at certain schools. For example when I went to the Columbia info session several of the people seemed very much like they were a "type-A" personality. A prospective asked a question about NYU versus Columbia and in most of these info sessions people tend to shy away from comparisons, the Columbia students basically responded "Why would you go to the second best school in a region".

In contrast when I went to the UCLA info session I noticed that many of the students who were there seemed more down to earth. This obviously is a very small sampling of the whole student body but the image that schools project through current students and alumni at these info sessions count a lot to me.

Your absolutely right, which is I recommend visiting schools to see where you feel like you fit in. Some may feel Columbia is type A, others don't. At the end of the day it's personal preference.

I agree with both the last two posts
I have seen the Type A personality amongst Columbia people also, BUT i know NYU people who are like that too. While eventually i will surely go to see the schools (BIG ASSUMPTION: I have a shot at gettin in) but right now i am still uncertain whether these 4 were the best for me to chose. Based on my research i think they are, but do please tell me if from my list of prospective schools you feel one or the other is less suitable or if there is some other school which would be more suitable.
Thanks
