<p>I reside in New Jersey, but I have a dual citizenship (US, Canada) </p>
<p>Potential majors: Chemical engineering, biochemistry, biomedical engineering, biotechnology.</p>
<p>Size: As for size I am not too picky. I prefer smaller colleges, but not too small. (At least 5000) I also do like city campuses as opposed to rural.</p>
<p>Where: Eastern half of the US, preferably north, but some southern schools would be okay too (UNC, UVA), but not much further than those. I’d say anything east of Michigan.</p>
<p>Constraints: For now I am considering all options regardless of cost. Once I talk with my parents I will have a better of idea of the type of schools we can afford. For now, price does not matter.</p>
<p>Should get into U of Maryland Clark Engineering. Do you need merit aid? I wouldn’t feel confident about aid. If applying to UVA/UNC, I would assume you do not.</p>
<p>Talk to your parents about cost constraints early in your search, and run net price calculators. You do not want to have to remake your list in November after finding out then that your entire application list is unaffordable.</p>
<p>Rutgers, Virginia Tech, NCSU, Minnesota, Stony Brook, Toronto, McGill, and British Columbia may be worth a look with somewhat more affordable list prices. If you need really low cost, look at the following:</p>
<p>If you suspect you are middle class I would suggest you talk to your parents immediately, before investing any more time in colleges that my turn out to be unaffordable.</p>
<p>Chem E and BioMed E are both specialties that will redefine your school choices. </p>
<p>You have a good list so far. Delaware if you go Chem E. Look at RPI and Northeastern. Maybe add Villanova, Pitt and CMU (a reach for anyone). Northwestern if you are willing to fly to Chicago.</p>
<p>My brother-in-law had stats like yours back in the last century and got his BS and MS in Chem E from Rutgers. Don’t underestimate the quality of the program there.</p>
<p>Thanks for the responses. I will look into all of the mentioned schools above.</p>
<p>As for Rutgers, I think that their program is pretty good. It’s just that I’d rather not go to college in New Jersey. But I will definitely be applying there.</p>
<p>I agree University of Chicago could be a big reach, but I am definitely looking into University of Michigan. They have a great engineering program too.</p>
