<p>personally, i don’t think your decisions could be more obvious- you should go to UGA. You seem to really love the school in many ways, PLUS you have an awesome research opportunity and it’s almost free for you! Don’t think that just because UVA is a little more well-known that you should go there. You will be successful after college no matter where you go- the school name does not determine that, you do. I know lots of people on the west coast and northeast who have heard of UGA. Don’t let people tell you that it’s not known outside of georgia!</p>
