<p>I agree with @ChrisTKD above. I have spoken with senior leaders at these schools, and they agree that both institutions provide superb education in engineering. Virginia Tech is considered more of a “technical” college since the largest group of students and resources are in engineering. UVA is a top-tier non-technical school, perhaps not as strong in engineering but overall terrific. Either will get you into a great job or graduate school, and as others have stated, there is no bad choice. Congratulations!</p>
