Hi, I enrolled into UIUC’s Bioengineering program months ago and I finished choosing my classes and everything. I have in state tuition and a couple of scholarships. However, I recently got off of UPenn’s waitlist and into their Engineering and Applied Sciences school. I want to go into the engineering industry and not the Med track. I currently don’t know which way to go because I was looking forward to UIUC but I just got into an Ivy League school. I would love some insight on how to go about making my decision.
What is the cost difference? Can your family afford Penn with no loans/no hardship?
We can afford a UPenn education but we don’t want to discount the fact that it costs three times as much as a UIUC education.
