Wow I thought those were your offers at first then I realized you haven't even applied yet. Apply to all of them and come back when you have an offer(s). You're wasting your time with this.

 

Hypothetically if they were my offers which would you take. I will apply to all of them, but I am curious what sounds the best/ would be most applicable to my future interests...

A couple unspoken rules on this forum run along the lines of 'don't post if you're in high school or a freshman' and 'come back and post when you actually have offers.'

It's great that you're asking for advice, but it's all hypothetical at this point and we can't help you at all until you're actually in a negotiable position.

I am permanently behind on PMs, it's not personal.
