Good engineering colleges?

College Search & Selection
1

<p>I was wondering if you guys know some colleges with good engineering programs. I'm a junior in highschool, and I plan on becoming a civil engineer. I have good grades (Always 5A's and 1B), okay SAT scores (around the 1800 range, but I'm working super hard to improve it), and a few ec's (however, I think I have one EC that makes me stand out). Also the grades are all AP and Honor classes.</p>

<p>I have a pretty good list right now: UC Berkeley (everyone can dream, right?) UCLA, Cal Poly SLO, and SDSU.</p>

<p>As it stands, UC Berkeley and UCLA, based on admission charts, are pretty much a long shot. Cal Poly SLO I have a pretty good shot at. However, I would like to have a few more colleges incase Cal Poly doesn't work out, and, as far as I can tell, SDSU seems to be a little bit too easy for me. (Btw, I know about UCSD; however, they don't have a civil engineer major)</p>

<p>So can anyone help me out, and maybe recommend a college or two? Thanks in advance :)</p>

<p>Do you want to stay on the west coast? What is your SAT score total for just math and reading? You need more matches and safeties on your list.</p>

<p>Assuming you are a California resident, add the UCs and CSUs that have your major. Make sure to have a safety in your list, unless you prefer to use community college and then transfer as your safety.</p>

<p>UC-Davis, UC-Santa Barbara, UC-Irvine, UC-Santa Cruz. All of them are good colleges for engineering.</p>
