Which schools to choose for offical visits/undergrad?

Hi All,

I'm a UK sixth form student and I'm one of the top athletes in my sports and as such I'm getting recruited to the US.

I have numerous offers and places to consider towards the end of his year I have to choose 5 schools for my official visits. The choices I have are Harvard, Yale, Dartmouth, Princeton, Cal, UWash, Northeastern, BU. My goal is to go into IB straight after uni or take 2 years off to compete in the Olympics. Which schools would you recommend I visit and or select for undergrad. Along with IB recruitment I also strongly value the social life associated with these schools. So which do you believe would offer the best overall experience.

Many Thanks!!!
