| I was in the exact same situation last week. WashU gave me an AMAZING financial aid package; it ended up costing less than UIUC (which is strange, since I'm an in-state student).
I've heard from several different sources that most of the funds from WashU's engineering department are going to the biomedical & chemical engineering departments at the expense of the other engineering majors.
UIUC has a sound engineering program so you really can't go wrong by going there (unless you're not really into huge state schools). |
