Hi Stephanie… I will try and give you some unbiased advice. I am posting on my son’s account. He also received the Pegasus Silver and was accepted into Burnett. He was not interested in UF but most likely would have gotten in if he applied. He is an engineering major and he thought he wanted to go to NC State, which has an amazing engineering program. He applied to NC State and UCF and got accepted to both He did qualify for Honors at NC State also. My son visited both campuses and absolutely fell in love with UCF. He KNEW it was the campus and the college for him. NC State has a highly nationally ranked Engineering College but he is going where he really believes he will be happier. Burnett is suppose to be a wonderful Honors College from anyone we have spoken to. If you have visited both colleges, really take into account which campus you felt more comfortable on and where you truly feel will be a better fit for you. UF has more prestige in Florida than it does in the rest of the country. Just weigh all your options…:)
