<p>I am looking to finalize my list of "apply to" schools. Here is what I have. Would anyone suggest more than 5? I would like to keep it from 5 to 7, as I have six different colleges to request transcripts from and it can get pretty costly. </p>

<p>Rose Hulman
UT Austin
Texas A&M
Colorado School of Mines</p>

<p>Thought about adding Rice to the list, but of late I am thinking of not even wasting the app. It was my 5th, but they frown on 2nd degree seekers. I will be applying as a transfer but have a BS in Organizational Management. Plus I am interested in larger more connected programs. I would be happy with RH because I am using my GI Bill. A&M frowns on 2nd degree seekers as well, but they have a well connected program and are outstanding for EE I have heard... Have to chance it.</p>

<p>Looking for moderate Cost of Living areas (have a family)
Preferably Texas or Mid-West
Outstanding for EE</p>

<p>Any advice or suggestions would be greatly appreciated! UIUC? Not interested in East Cost. Did consider WUSTL, but unsure of their EE program. Help please. I am ready to start requesting transcripts and start applying.</p>

<p>Both UIUC and University of Wisconsin @ Madison have very good EE program.</p>

<p>Thanks TippuSultan. I really want to apply to some great fit schools and have been doing my homework here on CC, but am at a loss, so to speak, for additional schools to apply to -or even a good number to shoot for. Deciding ‘Reach’ and ‘Saftey’ schools have me pretty confused as well.<br>
Can anyone point me to some other well regarded EE schools that meet the simple desirables I mentioned above? Advise on a good target to shoot for as far as total number of applications for schools that are fair fit?<br>
If I were to apply to some of the more prestigious schools perhaps I will make it work for the sake of earning a degree from a top tier university, but I just have a hard time envisioning trying to stay in California with the COL so high. I am aware that if an institution is ultra tier, then it will most likely be in a more expensive area to live, but I guess I am just struggling with if it will actually be worth it to stick it out. For example I am considering Stanford, but the COL would be through the roof… if I were to be accepted though, I think it would definately be worth it.</p>
