<p>“So what do you think? I know I could probably get into Purdue, University of Illinois, University of Michigan, etc. but what about the more prestigious engineering schools?”</p>
<p>You must mean MIT, Stanford, Cal, or Caltech. Those are the only four that are marginally more prestigious than UIUC, Michigan, and Purdue for engineering. </p>
<p>"i feel I would fit into an engineering school better than those in my state (OSU being the best one). </p>
<p>Any knowledge of merit scholarships for U of ill, purdue, vtech, texas a&m or others? I didn’t like u of mich that much when I visited"</p>
<p>Is it really surprising that a Buckeye wouldn’t like “u of mich that much?” ;-)</p>
