Hi!
I’ve been trying to decide between Umass Amherst and UW Seattle since I’ve been admitted to both however, for Amherst I got in-state tuition from a scholarship and got in directly for my major of Biochemistry. For UW, I just got off the waitlist, I’m not sure about my financial aid but I’d be out-of state tuition and got in for Pre-sciences (basically undeclared).
Since I’d have to re-apply to get into the Biochemistry program at UW my second year AND most likely without a scholarship or much financial aid, I’m not sure which of these options are better for me.
Would Umass Amherst be a better decision in this case, considering the major and scholarship and the fact that it is still a highly ranked research institution?
