<p>I did read another thread that was about engineering in uva
but I want to compare uva engineering to that of U.Mich. and UIUC</p>
<p>if you were accepted to all those schools of eng which one would you go?
I am applying next year and I am thinking whether I should apply uva as Early or not. If I dont apply as Early ...I might not get in... so ..(early decision is bit easier .. you know;; ) so </p>
<p>How do you guys think about uva Eng ? is it o.k? uva is well-rounded school...</p>
<p>uva isn't known for engineering, and out of the 3 schools you listed it's program is the weakest. that being said, engineering at uva is very good and e-schoolers are very smart and they get great job offers, specifically in systems engineering.</p>
<p>However, out of the 3 schools you mention, UVa is the best overall for undergrad, and if you choose not to major in engineering, you will be able to transfer into the college - which is universally strong in almost every department.</p>
<p>HyunJ, pay attention to what jags said. While UVA might not necessarily compare well to UIUC and UMich (which are arguably among the very best nationwide), it provides a perhaps the best overall education of the three and the best social life. Should you decide that engineering isn't for you (which isn't entirely improbably; people switch majors all the time and engineering isn't exactly a discipline that people are exposed to in HS.) Make sure to visit all three before making any decisions, though.</p>
<p>i applied to the engineering school but the prob is UVa isn't known for the things i like..
it's a bummer, really</p>
<p>well.. thanx for advices ! :)</p>
<p>oh by the way </p>
<p>Amnesia what other school did you apply for Engineering?</p>
<p>stanford.</p>
<p>but im so confused right now what im gonna do. i got likely letters from other top colleges so im not really sure where im headed.</p>
<p>UVa campus ("grounds") cant be beat and that's for sure, imo. also, im not sure I could let a founding father down. :-/</p>
<p>wow...standford.. my dream school..</p>
<p>yeah, like amnesia said, UVa is the MOST beautiful campus ive ever seen (maybe most beautiful place ever) annnd flippin Thomas Jefferson founded it, the history is unparalleled.
i think that with all this it would be the best for an undergrad engineering degree, save one of the more well known universities for the grad degree
imo...</p>
