<p>I am having a really hard time deciding between these two schools because I have a full-tuition scholarship to Uconn and I don't know if I should give that up for Lehigh?</p>
<p>basically which is the better value/ which would you go to?</p>
<p>Lehigh @ 30 k/year after financial aid vs. Uconn free tuition</p>
<p>I am going for Engineering and both schools are ranked quite high, but Lehigh is higher</p>
<p>Bumpppppppppp</p>
<p>Do you need to decide immediately to keep your UConn scholarship? </p>
<p>If not, I’d apply to Lehigh RD now and make the decision when you get the admission letter.</p>
<p>Otherwise, I’d personally go with UConn. 120000 is a lot of money.</p>
<p>Comparing salaries:
UCONN: Mechanical engineering […] average salary of $58,000 per year.

<p>The numbers may not be accurate, but they do suggest that the schools are pretty much equal for future salary.</p>
<p>I really appreciate your help…thank you so much, I was so stressed out about this but I have come to the conclusion that the binding factor of ED was what was making me so nervous, so I am not going to do ED at Lehigh as of right now…</p>
