UNC Chapel Hill vs. UT Austin

So it’s getting really close to that time when we need to choose where we’ll be going for the next four years. I got accepted to both UNC and UT, for the same major. I’ll be paying OOS tuition for both places, so money isn’t really a factor. But, at UNC, I got accepted to Honors Carolina and the Carolina Research Scholar Program. One thing about UT is that I can apply to transfer into the Health Science Scholars for the spring semester. Any input for which I should choose?

UNC

Considering the acceptances to HC and the CRSP, I would say UNC.

With the programs UNC is offering, you’ll likely have better support there. I’d go with UNC. Were you accepted to anything like Plan II at UT?

No, I didn’t get any other programs at UT. But there’s the option to apply to transfer in.

I’d take the offer from UNC then. You’re already accepted into two great, selective programs there, and UT poses much more risk re: even being accepted into one specialized program.
