<p>Thank you, bclintonk, your post if very helpful. I probably will take advantage of the fact that I’m an in-state applicant to one of the best public universities in the country, especially when it comes to engineering. </p>
<p>I’ll also probably apply to MIT, Carnegie Mellon, and Cornell, just so I don’t shut those doors myself. </p>
<p>Pittsburgh and other similar universities are only appealing for the fact that they would cost relatively little compared to Umich. The urban atmosphere isn’t something I must have–I’m not even sure I’d prefer it at all over Ann Arbor.</p>
<p>Also, I didn’t know almost anything at all about Cooper Union until you mentioned it. The full tuition scholarship aspect is definitely attractive, but the very low (Ivy Leage low) admittance rate is probably too low for me.</p>
<p>The 3-2 engineering program is also an option I hadn’t heard of before. Is there some sort of consolidated list of engineering schools that offer this program? For schools that do offer it, are there specific LACs from which they pick engineering students?</p>
<p>Thanks again.</p>
