<p>NYU doesn't have an engineering school yet (they have been discussing a merger with Polytechnic, but nothing is done yet). They have a 3-2 program with Stevens Institute of Technology though. As far as I know U of Chicago doesn't have an engineering school as well.</p>

3

<p>Try RPI, Case Western, Bucknell, Lehigh, Rose Hulman, GaTech, Univ of Maryland, Univ of Texas, VaTech.</p>

4

<p>Rice and UT</p>

5

<p>I think you are more likely to get in Cornell ED than CMU.</p>

6

<p>Chicago does not offer engineering. Physics and math, yes.</p>

7

<p>Do not take Math II over again! Schools will not see an 800 as being more valuable than a 790! Johns Hopkins would be a good replacement for U Chicago, because it does have a big engineering program.</p>
