HS senior daughter currently weighing top two acceptances and needs to commit to one by May 1st. Her intended major is Biomedical Engineering.

UVa - #28 national ranking, #39 undergraduate engineering, #23 undergraduate teaching
GT - #29 national ranking, #4 undergraduate engineering, #40 undergraduate teaching

While rankings are definitely important, other factors are weighing heavily in her mind. She has always been a well-rounded student and wants a "full college experience," with hopes of participating in music activities, athletic clubs, outing club, and possibly joining a sorority. She wants a safe/fun college town and a beautiful campus. She will study hard but she wants some balance of life during college. For these reasons, UVa is currently trumping GT on her list. But it is nerve-wracking to turn down GT, because it is such a strong engineering school. Interested to know your opinions. Making a decision is particularly hard because we live in the northeast, have not visited, and all accepted student days have been cancelled.
