I currently have a weighted GPA of 5.0417 and scored a 2030 on my SATs (Reading: 650, Math: 770, Writing: 610). I am naturally talented at math and wish to study engineering. I also wish to play D3 soccer and have great chances according to my coaches. I have recently been accepted into the Honors College at Arcadia U. and have made their soccer team. Academically, they do not have engineering available but have a program linked with Columbia University in which I'd be able to get 2 bachelors degrees: a Math from Arcadia and an Engineering from Columbia, in 5 or 6 years. On the other hand, I have a good chance of being admitted to Stevens and will receive a similar scholarship (based off of my friends' admissions decisions to Stevens). I understand the prestige of Columbia is more valuable, but is it worth the extra time and money to receive 2 degrees rather than one bachelors in Engineering from Stevens IT? (Stevens has a great internship and co-op program, but my chances of playing soccer there are not definite) Please give me some advice.
