Thanks,

that is how its been explained to me, as in advantageous, but not in an academical sense. From what i understand a graduate from UF and UM will have similar appeal to grad schools depending on GPA and rank. If that is true, i think the honors program seems much more appealing over another university such as Michigan (i keep using Michigan because i just got accepted). However, i applied ED to UF so that is somewhat irrelevant. I also like the honors program because after talking to students it seems that it makes getting acclimated to the school a little easier. So assuming the honors program is not academically influential, is UF just as prestigious an engineering school as a “better” public school such as Michigan or UVa (assuming graduation in the top % for all).

Basically what im asking is if i am making a mistake going to UF for engineering if i have an opportunity to go to a “better academic” school?
