<p>The early application to UofM snuck up on me and I'm not very sure I'll get in (ACT 28/GPA 3.6).</p>
<p>State and Tech are very different schools. State is much more well-known and ranked in general, but Tech is known to be absolutely solid for engineering in the region.</p>
<p>The costs are also a large factor and I've heard MSU gives some aid for maintaining a good GPA while I can't say the same for Tech.</p>
<p>If by some strange reason I got into Michigan, I'd definitely go.</p>

<p>Go with MSU in case you change your mind about your major. Engineering is very demanding, and one needs to have good time management and study habits. For this & other reasons, quite a few who start with engineering do switch to other majors.</p>
<p>Also from our personal experience, we found MSU’s admissions to be far more welcoming than MTU. MTU seemed very parochial. Also there is a higher chance for getting aid at MSU.</p>
<p>Trinity’s reasoning seems sound, and unlike most of us Trinity has had some contact with MT. MSU is a good school and there is no reason to think you will not get a good education there. There are a bunch of recent posts at the MT forum you could check out.</p>
<p>Thought I’d necro the thread and say I’m going to Tech. They gave about three times as much aid plus a scholarship.</p>
