UT-Austin, UC-Davis, or Duke for undergraduate engineering?

<p>I've been accepted to all three schools with a biomedical engineering major, although im not sure if i will be sticking entirely to that major. I plan to go on to graduate school and become a research scientist. I have also been accepted to the honors program at UT-Austin. Financially, Davis is nearly a full ride, while Duke and UT will end up costing about the same, although Im not too concerned with the money.</p>

<p>I'm wondering if any of these schools is definitely stronger academically than the others. Does the undergraduate university mean as much as I'm putting into it, or should i just go to whichever i feel the most comfortable at, assuming they are of equivalent value?</p>

<p>Duke is academically superior, but a full ride at Davis is hard to beat. UT is not worth the cost over Duke.</p>

<p>People gave you lots of information and their opinions there; now you just need to determine what’s most important to you. Good luck with your decision.</p>
