UW or UC Santa barbara

<p>Need help on deciding between these two schools UW (pre Engineeing) and UC Santa Barbara (Bio Chemistry). Visited both the campus. Both are amazing. I don't care about the weather for four years as long as academic is good. can anyone please let me know the pros and cons about these two great schools in terms of their academics?</p>

<p>What type of engineering?</p>

<p>Both places are great for academics. It’s hard to pick one over the other, to be honest.</p>

<p>Intended major is Bio-Engineering. However, not able to get admitted through DFA</p>

<p>What is DFA?</p>

<p>DFA: Direct Freshman Admission. Ultimate goal is premed and subsequently medical school.</p>

<p>Oh okay, that’s typically called DA amongst people here, so I was thinking perhaps you were referring to something different.</p>

<p>I would hate to be at a place and not be able to get into the major. So I would consider going to the place where you could definitely major in it.</p>
