Michigan vs UNC??

Colleges and Universities A-Z University of Michigan

<p>Hi I've posted on the UNC forum as well as the general forum, but I also wanted a Michigan perspective on my issue..</p>

<p>I will be applying for college in the upcoming fall/winter and the top two schools on my list are UNC-CH and Michigan (I live in MD so I'm OOS for both schools). Assuming (fingers crossed) I'm admitted to both I'm going to have a really hard time choosing which one to go to. I've visited both campuses and I absolutely adore both schools. I've had discussions with my friends/relatives and I'm under the impression that academically/prestige-wise UNC-CH is superior to Michigan, however I feel that Michigan will offer me a better social life. UNC has a 30% acceptance rate while Michigan tends to hover around 50-60% so it seems to me that UNC is much more exclusive. USNews has Michigan at 29 and UNC at 30, but Michigan has been trending downward recently so I wouldn't be surprised if UNC comes out higher in the near future. Will I be shooting myself in the foot by picking Michigan over UNC? By the way I plan on double majoring in engineering(electrical, chemical, or nuclear) and math, and have been told that both schools excel in these subjects. Right now I'm leaning toward UNC... please help!</p>

<p>UNC engineering is definitely more selective. I haven’t heard of anyone getting in yet.</p>

<p>^^^The joke here dddss17, just in case you didn’t get it because you are new, is that UNC doesn’t even offer engineering. ;-)</p>

<p>I know that he doesnt want biomed but UNC does have engineering :)</p>

<p>UNC does not offer a bachelor degree in Biomedical Engineering, only a BME concentration.</p>

<p>If you consider that one program an engineering school, than Michigan absolutely blows away UNC in engineering.</p>
