Hi everyone, so I got accepted to both Virginia Tech’s and George Washington University’s undergraduate engineering programs. I want to major in biomedical engineering and I can’t decide which school to attend. I got the presidents academic scholarship for GW and I’m a Virginia resident so in terms of tuition they’re almost the same once you add dorms and everything else. What I can’t decide is which program is stronger… which school do you guys think I should choose?!?
Congratulations! I don’t know much about either school, but a formula for this situation that I have often seen is:
Which school graduates more engineers in your field? This will tell you how many cohorts you can expect, as well as which may have more resources and connections to employers.
Also, which one would you feel more comfortable with socially? That is a big part of college.
Good luck!
