We have selected Georgia Tech as our Match Colleges, help us to select 2 reach, 2 safety and 1 more match college.

Any other suggestions appreciated

Thanks in advance.

Academic interests?

3

@merc81 AeroSpace Engineering and Computer science possible double major.

4

Is there another match college already besides GA tech? The wording seems to imply that but I don’t see one listed.

How much can you afford?

5

Purdue as a safety school? With your stats you should have no trouble getting in and it’s aerospace engineering is really good.

6

RPI would be an excellent academic match for those interests, @RightDirection .

@merc81 Thanks, we didn’t decided on other match college so far, my budget is 10,000 to 15000 per year, GA Tech is best suited for my budget and all other requirements, but as safety we want to apply for other colleges.

Thanks @PetEngineer

University of Alabama - Huntsville.

Ok…

the suggested Purdue won’t work. Net cost would well above your budget. Purdue isn’t generous with merit, so net cost could easily be $30k+ per year.

UAH would be a possibility …probably free tuition there. Net cost would be about $13k per year.

Alabama would work as well if they don’t change their merit…free tuition plus $2500 per year…net cost would be about $12k
