<p>WPI has a really good program</p>
<p>If your friend is interested in Chemical Engineering, the University of Wisconsin has one of the best programs, even better than Michigan and UT, and a bit easier to get into.</p>
<p>U of Tulsa has an excellent Petroleum Engineering program. Its multiphase fluid flow program (TUFFP) is funded by all the major oil companies.</p>
<p>You may want to check out the several state Schools of Mines - Colorado, Missouri and Montana come to mind. However, bear in mind that these are strictly engineering schools - if he wants to switch to a non-engineering major he'll have to transfer.</p>
<p>NC State has a great chemical engineering program. Aside from Duke, NC State has most of the engineering programs in NC, so it gets a lot of funding.</p>
<p>oh wow, didn't know about u of wisconsin. i'll tell him to check it out, along with nc state. (i don't think he's sure he wants to go into engineering, but would like to have that option open. he's also interested in psychology.)</p>
<p>Psychology is also very good at UW although a bit below Michigan.</p>
<p>Georgia Tech. SATs are on the lower end but it wouldn't shut him out. Hows the GPA looking?</p>
<p>South Carolina has a decent engineering program thats doesn't put so much emphasis on research(a plus for me). I recently got my acceptance letter and my scores weren't so great. It's a nice campus and a warm climate(!!!). </p>
<p>..just an idea.</p>
<p>How is USC engineering?</p>
<p>Wisconsin, Minnesota, MIT and UCB have been ranked in the top 5 for Chemical Engineering for decades. But thanks to US News, it is not as popular as the Ivies, Michigan or Northwestern...thus it is a bit easier to get in.</p>
<p>If you like engineering and want to be an engineer, I'd recommend that you pick a school with a strong engineering tradition. The vast alumni network in the industry will be a great asset when you graduate.</p>

<p>USC engineering is very good.</p>
<p>Speaking of Wisconsin and Engineering, many in-state students prefer UW-Platteville to UW-Madison for engineering because the classes tend to be smaller, the curriculum is more practical (rather than theoretical), and the focus is on teaching rather than research. While UW-Platteville lacks the national reputation of UW-Madison, it is a well regarded engineering program in Wisconsin and the surrounding states.</p>
<p>Rose-Hulman for a small college. University of Delaware for a larger school (with gender balance). </p>
<p>U of Delaware is particularly good for Chemical Engineering because of the DuPont family's generous gifts over the years.</p>
