Another Generic College Search Help Thread. But you should respond to this one. :)

College Search & Selection
1

<p>Hi there.
I am pretty lost in this whole college search process..I've got some time since I'm a sophomore but I am still going to look.</p>

<p>Preferably a mid-sized school
Strong undergrad engineering program
Co-op or internship..preferably a co-op
No 3/2 Dual Degree Engineering crap..not really going for it
Financial Aid is most likely a MUST
Not looking for a "party school" or a school completely filled with liberals</p>

<p>I've got good test scores right now (31 ACT!) and my EC's arent too great..clubs, sports, work, some volunteer and leadership stuff</p>

<p>What state do you live in?</p>

<p>Cornell would be an excellent choice for you. If you raise your ACT to a 32, I think that you will have a great chance at admittion.</p>

<p>Plus, some other schools that fit your criteria would be Carnegie Mellon, Northeastern and RPI =]</p>

<p>GPA?</p>

<p>10char</p>
