Which is better? UTD biomedical engineering or UMBC electrical engineering?

Question

I have a an admit in both.   
  At UTD, I have 2 professors ready to offer projects I can work on and biomedical is my first preference.  
  But at UMBC I have a scholarship of $1000 for first semester.   
  I am confused as to what to do.

Hi Annapoorna,
Hope you're doing well.
You can compare the curriculums, concentration, electives and location of the particular program offered by the respective universities to which you would want / have applied to, as they might be the most significant factors in your decision-making process. Also, reach out to the alumnis of the program of your choice, on LinkedIn, as some of them might reply to you. Additionally, you can go through the popular rankings websites such 'QS RANKINGS 2022', 'US NEWS RANKINGS 2022', 'TIMES HIGHER EDUCATION RANKINGS 2022' and 'Forbes US University Rankings 2021'. Also, you should consider the factors such as 'Admission requirements for International students (I am assuming that you are an Indian citizen), 'Cost of living', 'Year-round weather conditions', 'CPT & OPT opportunities that maybe offered by the university'. Also, you can contact the college representatives via the email id and/or contact number on the respective program page, department page or university website. Hope this helps you to get better clarity than before.
All The Best!!!👍🏻
