Hello everyone. This is my first post.

I was accepted into UVA SEAS Early Action and Rutgers through the Honors College. At Rutgers, I was given a full ride for Arts & Sciences and Biological Scienes Schools, but not Engineering. If I went to Rutgers I would probably do Biotech, and most likely Biomedical Engineering at UVA. I have yet to hear from UVA regarding financial aid, but I am OOS and do not see it being that substantial. I still have to hear back from all the Ivies this Tuesday, but I am not really banking on getting in lol. I was wondering if anyone had any insight regarding Rutgers vs UVA. Is the UVA experience worth the extra money? Is the Rutgers Honors College a viable comparison to UVA? How flexible is UVA with transferring schools? (I don’t know if I am 100% set on Engineering). How would I benefit from one school over the other? Any information or opinions would be great thanks!
