<p>so...after only having a choice between UVa, UMCP, Purdue and Rutgers...i chose UVa ...however, I was taken off the waitlist for UMich as a first year Engineering student...and now...i have no clue where to go...please help me decide :o ....
.................money isn't that much of an issue and neither is location..I am mostly concerned about reputation, salaries etc... 
any input is appreciated and thanks in advance! :)</p>
<p>bump…</p>
<p>like it was discussed in the other topic, if you are going to be a ME, you don’t care which school you goto for salary.</p>
<p>i know UMich has better eng rep and about equal overall rep (to me at least) to UVa…</p>
<p>so… ok. goto UMich, eh.</p>
<p>nah im not doin ME.. im doin CompE …
i thought i shoud go to UMich as well…thanks forthe input man!</p>
<p>Are you instate for UVa? If not, UMich is definitely a better choice.</p>
<p>im OOS for both…</p>
<p>Yeah, definitely choose UMich (unless you’ve visited UVa and really love it…). It’s pretty much as reputable as UVa, since they’re both respected public schools, only UMich is a top engineering school as well, while UVa is not.</p>
<p>UMich is pretty awesome. If I had a choice I’d go there over UVa</p>
<p>UMich engineering is much better known than UVa.. but that’s only one thing, although prestige and being well-known is highly valued on CC.</p>
<p>I’d say UMich–it is a wonderful school and has a damn good engineering program.</p>
