I got into UIC GPPA program for bioE which I want to major in. I also got into UIUC but only for general engineering. They said I can transfer into the bioE program after a year at UIUC if I meet the requirements my freshman year. However, the BioE program at UIUC is really competitive and only takes about 15-20 transfers. I initially wanted to go to UIUC and I know UIUC is a better school but there’s no guarantee I’ll get into the program after a year. And even if I do go to UIUC and not get in the program after a year, I can transfer to UIC but then I won’t be in the GPPA program anymore. What do you recommend?
Go to to UIC because you’re 100% guaranteed acceptance into the program you want.
Thanks for the help.
I also got into Purdue but its out of state so pretty expensive. Would UIC GPPA be better or Purdue? Purdue has a better ranking but I’ve heard GPPA is a pretty good program for UIC so if you have any input, please let me know.
