<p>I have been accepted to UNC and was planning on attending their in the fall in their BME Phd program.</p>

<p>However, I have recently been contacted by UIUC via a second round of admissions and am being offered admission for the fall.</p>

<p>I need to make a hurried decision (3-5 days) rather blindly since I have not had a chance to visit Urbana Champaign. I realize it is a better engineering school, and recieving funding at both places, I do not know which will be best for me</p>

<p>I would love to hear any and every suggestion and comments that might be out there.</p>

<p>-Thanks</p>

<p>UIUC is far and away the better engineering school, but Bioengineering is probably their lowest ranking of their engineering programs (it was founded in 2005).</p>

<p>Do you know ahead of time your tuition/stipend situation for the Phd programs? If you do and one varies significantly from another that would be a huge factor.</p>

<p>at UNC im getting a generous RA position with the department head. at UIUC im gettin a TA’ship.</p>

<p>At both places, I would recieve full tuition and an adequate stipend.</p>
