Pre-College Issues High School Life
1

<p>hi i'm a rising senior applying to engineering schools in the fall. I have a solid list but could use a few more solid/safety schools. i have a 2370 sat, likely valedictorian, with outstanding ec's and rec's. </p>

<p>here is where i will likely apply as of now:</p>

<p>stanford
penn
cornell
rice
wash u
carnegie mellon
rpi
uc berkeley
johns hopkins </p>

<p>any suggestions for safetyish schools with engineering that i havent listed yet? im looking more for a medium sized university that also has liberal arts for a possible double major.</p>

2

<p>Schools to Consider:</p>

<p>-University of Washington
-Purdue
-UT Austin</p>

3

<p>Illinois UC.</p>

4

<p>Look into Harvey Mudd</p>

5

<p>Harvey Mudd is a safety for like 10 students in this world.</p>

<p>But that said you ought to check it out.</p>

6

<p>Harvey Mudd is nowhere near being a safety for anyone, unless you won a medal at an international math/science competition or something. (It is a good engineering school, though.) Also, it’s small and doesn’t have liberal arts majors, so it doesn’t quite jive with the OP’s requirements.</p>

<p>Case Western should be a safety for you.</p>

7

<p>I second Illinois and Purdue though you may find them a tad big.</p>

<p>@energize
Nobody called it a safety. He just said to look into it. I’m sure the OP doesn’t consider all of the schools on that list safeties. (or he is delusional)</p>

9

<p>Texas A&M, Penn State, Virginia Tech, Clemson</p>

<p>It isn’t a safety for anyone, but Notre Dame is good for engineering.</p>

<p>^ Don’t suggest ND engineering, he’s going to take my spot now. -_-</p>

<p>:P</p>

<p>Georgia techs an easy safety</p>
