@linda99 Suggest post in this year thread also since more people are active there and you may get response. There was a student last year who got U/AMC and also higher ranked program (CWRU) but got Presidential Scholarship in Union. But I believe even then it is not that much ($20k or so). May be some other reason for his decision. So you can PM him. Some general factors you can consider are, the location, and feel and like for each school. Both are cold places but Albany is not that great but no idea about UConn city. Since you are going to spend a good amount of time 8 years, you should like the place and school more than anything. Since you attended in person interviews, you should recall your experience and reach out to folks in both schools. Union no need for MCAT and UConn MCAT needed but that should be a deal breaker. Did you get any scholarship in these 2 places?
