I am a 19yr/old 3rd year transfer student from NVCC who has been accepted to George Mason University, University of Virginia, and Virginia Tech. I am really deliberating between UVA and VT at this point, however I only have 24hrs to make my decision for UVA. I am currently a biology major but I think I want to change majors. In my last two years at community college I still haven’t figured out what I want to do after I graduate, and I’m approaching my 3rd year without any direction. I am interested in wildlife conservation, which VT has a degree in, but I am not sure how I would like the job offerings. I am aware that I will most likely need to go on to post-graduate education. If I were going into liberal arts, law, business, or medicine then I would choose UVA hands down. However with my interests in wildlife and science I am thinking maybe go to VT? I have also considered a career in aviation, which is a completely different area of study if I choose to go into the wildlife conservation major. I know a lot of people at VT and I have already found an apartment with my best friend in Blacksburg and I know I would enjoy myself there. I am really afraid of going to Tech though and regretting passing up on a school with a reputation like UVA. I have spoken to advisors at both schools and the more information I get, the harder the decision is. I’m so stressed out I can barely function at this point. I wasn’t thrilled about either school (I know they are great academically) but I cannot afford to go out of state. I’ve visited both a lot and I still don’t feel strongly about one over the other.
