My S chose UVA biomedical engineering over VA Tech. He wanted to major in biomedical and really loved UVA. He is now a junior and has changed his major to Mech E. He’s having a great experience at UVA, but I think there are times when he wished he had chosen Tech. Their engineering program is so much stronger IMO. In addition, I encourage your daughter to research job opportunities available to students with only an undergraduate degree in biomedical. The lack of opportunities was one of the reasons my S changed his major. Tough decision - good luck!
