Hi guys, I know decisions aren’t until until Feb. and Honors apps aren’t out yet but I’d like your thoughts because it may come down to this or UF reg vs UCF provost/honors.

UCF offered me their Provost Scholar Award, total of $24,000 and guaranteed admission into the 4 yr Burnett Honors College. It also has it’s perks of research opportunities even in your first year.

I really thought I was going to UF for the better part of my high school years, felt right at home with the tour, etc. but UCF has grown on me a bit and it’s hard to turn down $24,000.

I’m considering double majoring in computer engineering and accounting. I know that seems ridiculous but I plan to try or at least start out engineering w/ accounting minor and then see if I can get the second major( is this a better idea?).

So which do you think is the better opportunity for me?
