I was accepted to both for engineering, I know umich I ranked higher, but is there anything special about UVA engineering? I love uva and the campus but engineering doesn’t seem like it’s strong suit.
If you’re interested in biomedical engineering, UVA has a pretty good program. The university is investing heavily into it at the moment, bringing in more funds and renowned faculty, so one can only expect the program to grow even stronger over the next few years.
Other than that, UMICH is the better choice for all other kinds of engineering. If you take stock in traditional rankings.
