best school for research...

Hi everyone (and anyone),

Just been kinda up in the air lately, and this probably my first and last time using this site. I’ve been accepted to UNC-CH and Vanderbilt, and waiting on a decision (assuming acceptance for now) from Rice. I live in the Charlotte area of NC, and got into their honors college with a Carolina scholarship (10,000/yr). As for Vanderbilt, I applied top late for scholarships, but will probably get around 45-50k in Financial aid (using their financial aid calculator). I just wanted to pick the college that will be best for me academically and the college that will best give me career-related research opportunities. I plan on majoring in compsci and/or biochem, and want to do research in those fields (which means I also have to think about which will set me up for a great grad school).

Thanks

I don’t see much difference academically among those schools. No bad choices.

They are all good choices. Pick the one that you like the best and is affordable for your family.
