<p>MIT is number one on the list, followed by Cornell and U of Pennsylvania. But I could use some help generating more schools- I am still not sure of all the schools I am applying to. I am primarily interested in Engineering and business (I want to run a high-tech startup company)</p>
<p>Preferred geographic location- New England/East Coast, but it doesn't HAVE to be such.</p>
<p>Berkeley, Stanford, Michigan, Penn</p>
<p>anywhere on the east coast?</p>
<p>University of Virginia is good</p>
<p>CMU has very strong engineering and business programs, though it's debatable if they're east coast or midwest. I remember Rose-Hulman talking about how they have a ton of programs to support student founded start-ups, and they're a pretty solid engineering school, though, again, it's midwest.</p>
<p>Smith (but you are male); Dartmouth has both.</p>
