<p>I've been accepted into UC-Davis, UT-Austin (honors program as well), and Duke as a freshman biomedical engineering major. I'm stuck deciding between the three and was hoping to get as much information I can about each of the schools. I'm not entirely set on biomedical engineering, but I am certain I want to be an engineer. My future plans so far are to attend a graduate school and become a research scientist. I'm a very laid back person and do not want to get stuck into a very competitive environment that could burn me out. I am not to big into watching sports, but I would love to play intramural/club soccer. I've always been a very social person and I enjoy partying and a good music scene as well. Financially, all the schools are about the same (all are OOS), although UC-Davis has given me a scholarship which would cut my total cost of tuition by about $10,000 a year. Although, the financial situation doesn't impact my decision as much as my happiness and the quality of my education.</p>
<p>With the little information you know about me, why do you think I should attend Duke over the other schools? I know most of the facts about each of the schools so I guess I'm looking for more personal experiences and school vibes, as well as information about future careers and outlook.</p>
<p>Thanks!</p>
