I am interested to see what you decide. My son is a junior and also wants to go into engineering – not really sure what kind. I went to UVA and loved it! My child also liked it a lot. I was a little weirded out by their engineering school though. I think it’s a great place to go if you want to do something other than engineering, but not sure what an engineering degree from UVA looks like in the job field. Schools like Virginia Tech (and Georgia Tech which is in state for us) have tremendous job opportunities, alumni networks, etc. I wonder if it is the same as getting an engineering degree from UGA versus Georgia Tech to some extent. Great question and good luck!!
