Hi everyone I seem to be at a loss with deciding on which college I want to go to. I am an OOS that got into UT, Vandy, and UMich for Biomedical Engineering, and I would really appreciate any feed about any of these schools or just general advice!
Along with BME I want to do the pre-med track and have accesibility to shadow, research, and intern at the school I pick. In addition this, I do want to go to a school with school spirit and pride (football games, traditions, etc) , and that has the “work hard, play hard” mentality. I value schools that have a good mix of modern and traditional architecture (I wasn’t able to visit any of the schools due to Corona). Also diversity is very important for me!
I have listed some pros and cons for the schools (please correct me if I am wrong about some of them or if you have any 
) Thank you!!
