Hi! I’ve been accepted into both schools (UT through auto admission and Tulane with a $32,000 renewable scholarship), but I don’t really know about either university? I’m a TX student, so I would qualify for in-state tuition for UT. I consider both schools as safeties (my dream school is Rice), but I’d like to have some idea as to which school I might prefer more. I plan on majoring in Biology. I would appreciate any feedback. Thank you!
@BaoBaoXiongMao congrats on UT and Tulane. LHS got admitted to both last year along with a Tulane scholarship. Both are great schools and you’ll do great with either of them on your resume. So, where do you want to spend the next 4 years of undergraduate study? If you haven’t done so already, you really, REALLY need to visit them and get a good feel for them. If cost is an issue, your Tulane scholarship makes it close to UT, but still approx $10,000 more per year. How about rankings? Per USNWR for best Biological Sciences colleges, UT is ranked 30th and Tulane is ranked 106th. (Rice is ranked 42nd, fyi). If you’re headed for the Medical field, UT is building the new Dell medical school. Pretty sweet. Take you time, learn more about ALL the schools you’ll get into and make your wise decision in March/April next year, (not now). Good Luck.
