<p>I plan on doing engineering (probably Mechanical), and of all the schools ive been accepted to, its come down to UT vs. UMich. I live in texas so UT would be half the price, and im not quite sure which degree is more valuable within Texas because I plan on living here after college. Also, ive been accepted to Michigan’s engineering program, but UT only accepted me to my second-choice school, McCombs Business. I know I can probably transfer into the engineering school at UT after a year in business, or i might even do ERB (Engineering Route to Business), but im not sure if its worth the trouble because ive heard and seen great things at Michigan.</p>
<p>Does anyone have any input on the situation? I also was considering getting an MBA after undergraduate but im not sure if I want to do that yet. Thanks!</p>
<p>UT degree will be more valuable in Texas. Most Texas companies, most likely with many UT alumni, will recruit at UT. The only downside I see here is that you have not been accepted to UT engineering. The key question is whether it is hard to transfer to engineering at UT or not.</p>
<p>Thanks for the Input Christian2! I see your point and I agree that alot of companies will probably recruit from UT. Its just a pain knowing that i didnt get into the engineering school directly because I dont want to miss out on any of the core engineering classes freshman year, and I also feel like Michigan has a slightly stronger engineering department and possibly more personalized because it is half the size of UT.</p>
<p>Texas A&M–Only given the Aggie Network.</p>
<p>In terms of actual degree… engineering/technology.</p>
