Hi all,
I am having a dilemma in choosing between rutgers and drexel to pursue bio-medical engineering. I will give a little background pertaining to my situation and then hope you guys can give me helpful input to think about. So as to my drexel admittance, I was accepted to the accelerated BS/MS 5 year 3 co-op program and also to the Pennoni Honors College. Drexel also gave me $28,920 as a cumulation of a need based grant and a scholarship for maintaining a 2.75 GPA both of which can be renewed each year. Also they are giving 5,500 in loans so the remaining cost is about $35,795 for attendance each year. Keep in mind, the average total salary for co ops are 16,000. For my rutgers admission I also was accepted into the honors program and the 4 year undergrad for the school of engineering (and School of Arts and Sciences-New Brunswick and School of Environmental and Biological Sciences) and although i don’t know how to check my financial aid package the cost of in state students (which I am) is about $25,096. Also Rutgers is ranked 19 in the nation for its bio-med program and Drexel is ranked 20 in the nation. Please help me make a decision. Thank you in advance for the input it is really appreciated.
