Good choice?

<p>I was just wondering how these programs compare. I have already been accepted into the Colorado School of Mines, and I am applying to Case Western Reserve, RPI, WPI, probably UMICH, and I am thinking about UIUC. I probably will apply to the University of Arizona as I will most likely get a huge Financial Aid package from them, since I am a national Hispanic scholar, and does that school stand up to the others? I almost forgot to say that I am going to major in engineering, but I haven’t decided which one yet. I live in Illinois and I know that UIUC seems like the obvious choice, but I’m just not so sure about the whole environment there.</p>

<p>Thanks!</p>

<p>FYI on CC Financial Aid is tied to your income/need while Merit Aid is tied to stats. Arizona’s programs are ABET certified so it should be a good program. I have no idea why you have UMich on your list with UIUC being in-state. UMich would cost you a fortune. Can you afford $50K+/year?</p>
