That is a tough decision, and it depends on your specific situation.
NOTE: I am not affiliated with any college or university, nor do I consider myself an expert that can tell you what to do for a choice that will affect the rest of your life.
The first question I would ask would be if you go to a school that does not provide a full scholarship, how will you pay for school? (Parents, loans, financial aid, grants, etc?). If your parents have money saved specifically for your college education, it give you more choices to go with.
I can tell you, if I were in your situation I would narrow down my choices to the schools that fit my budget first. Student loans may not seem like a big deal, but paying off huge loans after college can have an effect on success after college. I myself am still paying off student loans, while mine aren't that expensive (around $110 every month), I have heard of students paying over $400 a month.
Next I would determine which school is best for the major you intend to pursue. If you have no idea, skip this step. Some schools are much better than others for particular areas of study. Off the top of my head, education is one that is very competitive and those with straight A's get the best jobs, and the better the school you attend (academically) the better chances you have of getting the job.
Next I would determine "fit". When you visited each of these schools (you did visit each of these schools in person right?) how did each campus school "feel"? You will naturally feel a connection with some schools and some schools just won't feel right. Any school that you can't see yourself attending should be removed from the list.
Other things to consider are, what kind of student are you? Do you study a lot? Do you always get good grades? A school like University of Pennsylvania is no joke, and you will have to work very hard to keep good grades, and play soccer. I think, if you chose that route, you pretty much have to accept the fact you will have no life outside of soccer and classes. (PENN students - please correct me if I am wrong here).
I think the most important thing is finding a school that is a good fit and will provide everything you need to succeed academically and prepare you for life after college. (A bigger more expensive Ivy league school does not automatically mean you will be more successful after college.)
If I were you my goal would be to find the best college that feels the best, and upon graduation I will have a degree from a respected school, with great grades, and as little student loan debt as possible.
I hope this helps.
