I am a high school senior in the process of selecting a university to study either physics or engineering. I have been accepted to Case Western and the University of Virginia. Case is giving me a full ride. UVa is giving me a scholarship that makes it possible to attend at a very low cost. I can't figure out which school has the better program of study and will give me the best opportunities for graduate school and potentially doctoral study. I'm sorry to post on this thread, but I can't figure out how to post one of my own. So which school is better for Physics? for Engineering? for post graduate opportunities?
