Michigan vs Yale for composition

So I applied to a bunch of schools as a composition major, and I heard back from Michigan a few weeks ago and they offered me a great scholarship, so I was pretty much settled on going there.

Then a few days ago, I find out that I was accepted at Yale, which I did not expect at all! I realize that Yale only offers a BA in music and not a BM, but looking at their website it seems like they seem to have a lot of opportunities for undergraduate composers. They also haven’t offered me any type of scholarship, so that means the cost of attendance would be about twice as much as Michigan

Anyone have any advice or suggestions? This whole scenario was completely unexpected and I feel kind of at a loss at what I should do.
