<p>Over spring break I'm visiting Princeton, Yale, and Dartmouth back east. I really want to go to school back there, but if I don't get accepted into the most elite schools of the east, what are some other prestigious schools?</p>
<p>What are you wanting to study?</p>
<p>For universities some quick suggestions would include Tufts, Johns Hopkins, Georgetown, Boston College, Cornell. There are also a ton of great LACs in the east if a smaller school would interest you.</p>
<p>It would be worth your while to get a college review book and so some research yourself before you plan your visits.</p>
<p>I very much agree with happy1, but some of my freinds pursuing elite insitutions are also looking at amherst college which is a small often overlooked school but with very good academic standing, and alot of my friends have personally advocated this school to me just thought i would add the suggestion!</p>
<p>CE527M: I want to study biomedical engineering or bioengineering, preferably the first
happy1: thank you I will do that!
portugueseuser4: I have heard good things about amherst too, I will look into them to see if they have my major!</p>
<p>BME and BioE are the same thing?</p>
<p>Also, Dartmouth isn’t a good choice for engineering IMO. </p>
<p>Definitely check out JHU if you are interested in BME. Tufts, BU, MIT, Penn, Columbia, Cornell, and Rochester are some other ideas.</p>
<p>Some of the schools being suggested do not have engineering - BC, Amherst, Georgetown, most LACs. Dartmouth does not have biomed or bioengineering - just a general engineering degree.
Tufts, CMU, RPI, U.Rochester, Bucknell, Union, Northeastern, Syracuse, RIT, WPI…</p>
