What are some colleges that meet some/all of these requirements?
-Smallish school (around 5,000)
-In the East Coast
-Lots of extracurriculars
-Smaller class size
-A good engineering program
Also about me, I have around a 4.1 weighted GPA and a 34 on the ACT.
The two <10k students schools with good engineering that come to mind for me are Dartmouth and Brown. Lehigh and Bucknell are small schools with engineering.
Agree with @ucbalumnus – check those schools out. Not sure how big of an area your research is in or the tier of colleges that might make sense to check out. Others might be Buchnell, Lehigh, Tufts, Case Western.
