can someone help me with my college choices?

College Search & Selection
1

<p>I'm going into engineering, and am thinking of applying to these colleges so far:
Cornell
USC
Northwestern
Carnegie Mellon
and maybe Rice</p>

<p>Do you have any other suggestions for me? I'm looking for schools with smaller names but around the same caliber as these (20-35% acceptance). Or do you think these are enough? Im also applying to public colleges (UC's and cal states). any suggestions would be greatly appreciated, thanks!</p>

<p>Lehigh, Notre Dame, Tufts, Bucknell, Rochester, Georgia Tech, Boston University?</p>

<p>By smaller names do you mean physically, like 6 letters, or prestige? or size?(but usc is huge compared to the others)</p>
