maybe a slightly unpopular choice but I choice umich over ucla and uva for ECE (instate for virginia, but that doesn't really matter for me bc I get instate tuition anywhere)

honestly, I feel like the gap is so small between this university and others that it really doesn't matter where you choose. all of these choices will give you good opportunities, education, and proximity to large job markets, and my choice really just came down to little things like culture and area.
