Ask HN: College Decisions MIT, PSU, Stanford

Finishing up junior year in high school, I am in a position where I need to choose which college I would like to pursue for engineering. I am fascinated by Aerospace Engineering but my AP physics 1 teacher has me thinking about majoring in physics. He is a very savvy teacher and he has opened my eyes to the path of physics. I am currently in the position of most likely being accepted into MIT, Penn State, and Stanford. I have a 4.5 GPA thus far throughout high school and scored 1540 in SAT (800 math, 740 Reading) and a 34 ACT (36 math, 32 English). I am fully confident that I will be accepted into those schools yet I am clueless on where to go. The outlier of the 3, Penn State is where I have deep family alumni connections where I am being nudged towards that College. The campus is beautiful but I do not know If I will get the "greatest" education there. MIT is hands down the greatest engineering school in the world and when i visited it was also amazing. Stanford however is located in California with another great engineering program. I have no idea where I should go to ensure a great future for myself. All help is greatly appreciated.
