<p>The first thing I have to say is that I will not go to a Community college my parents won't let me and I don't want to. I can only afford State schools, in-state or out it doesn't matter just one of the two. I want to study some type of engineering but I need a big school with many types because I don't know exactly what kind at all. I live in NY and no state school except Buffalo has a big engineering program and I hate cities period. I don't know of any schools that I will get into that have a varied engineering program. I can't find a school that will accept me that has what I want or maybe I'm not justing looking correctly but I could use some help.
GPA-
83.59 Avg - My school doesn't do Gpa.
Class Rank-
151/295 - As of January but I am pretty sure I am in the top half now according to guidance and my school is a pretty good school.
Difficulty-
About half of the classes I took were honors but no APs but if I might be able to get into AP Statistics.
SAT-
SATs - Math-650, CR-470, Writing-480, Two-Part-1120/1600, and Three-part-1600/2400.
Will be taking them again in Sept or Oct to hopefully get 550 or above on both CR and Writing.
Extracurriculars-
Varsity Soccer and about 50 hours of Community Service.</p>
<p>^ Stony Brook has fairly decent engineering…</p>
<p>Anyway, look at New Mexico State.</p>
<p>I will consider Stony Brook but it only has 5 types of Engineering and I want to go a school that has more like 9 or 10 so I have more options.</p>

<p>No, you probably shouldn’t base your future on the advice in a random blog. But “types of engineering” can be a fuzzy line. Many of the engineers I know don’t fit clean little lines like “Chemical” or “Nuclear”.</p>
<p>“I can only afford State schools, in-state or out it doesn’t matter just one of the two”</p>
<p>Many state schools charge as much for OOS students as privates. You won’t get the same rates as at a SUNY in-state.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>UB’s main campus is not in Buffalo, it’s in Amherst which is a fairly well-off northern suburb. North campus is very large with many park-like features. It does have enough students to be considered a small city though!</p>

<p>Hmmm…Not sure you have the stats to be accepted directly into a university engineering major. You may have to do a little more research, alot more work, and adjust your attitude! Nothing you posted here suggests to me that you’d be accepted at most schools. There is absolutely nothing wrong with many of the very good CC’s in NYS and you may benefit greatly from the smaller class sizes typically offered there.</p>
<p>Almost every state has one or more public colleges with engineering that are fairly easy to get into. Try West Virginia University and U of Maine. By far, the most schools that fit your criteria (public, non-urban, engineering) are in the Midwest, South, and Rocky Mountain areas. New Mexico State is a perfect example. Also, Wyoming, Mississippi State, South Dakota State, Montana State, Colorado State, etc…</p>
<p>If you want a engineering school you can look into Michigan Tech</p>
<p>Your title “I have know idea what to do?” does not help your case. It should be “I have no idea what to do”; Math/engineering appears to be your strong suit.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>It would be more helpful if people would post about schools they actually are familiar with. WVU, for example, does not offer an undergrad engineering program. U of Maine’s standards for engineering are:
“For engineering, advanced placement or honors level courses in high school are recommended. Combined SAT scores of 1110 and graduation in the top 20% of your high school class, with no grades less than a “B” should be your goal”</p>
<p>Michigan Tech does have a number of engineering programs, including an exploratory one, but this poster does not have the stats to make it an easy match. His gpa and CR scores are in the lowest quartile according to their common data set. </p>
<p>lol, 1980…that explains it!</p>
<p>SUNY Institute of Technology offers bachelors degrees in engineering technology but not engineering.</p>
<p>[School</a> of ISET](<a href=“http://www.sunyit.edu/iset/]School”>http://www.sunyit.edu/iset/)</p>
<p>Here’s a link to the undergrad engineering programs at West Virginia that sk8ermom says don’t exist:</p>
<p>[WVU</a> CEMR: Undergraduate Degrees](<a href=“http://www.cemr.wvu.edu/academics/degrees.php?level=ugrad&pPage=programs.php&pTitle=Programs]WVU”>http://www.cemr.wvu.edu/academics/degrees.php?level=ugrad&pPage=programs.php&pTitle=Programs)</p>
<p>West Virginia also offers engineering at a branch campus: <a href=“http://www.wvutech.edu/about[/url]”>http://www.wvutech.edu/about</a></p>
<p>I stand corrected, thanks Schmaltz! Their home academics page lists engineering as a masters program or I misread! Sorry bout that!</p>
<p>The WVU web site is pretty tricky, and it took me a while to find undergrad engineering. So sk8rmom, it’s easy to see how you missed it.</p>
<p>WVU offers engineering. That’s about all of the good things I can say about their engineering program though. And they absolutely murdered the good engineering school in WV so now there’s really nothing left in the state. Pathetic how jealous people will drag other programs down instead of attempting to elevate their own.</p>
<p>the University of Washington has a great engineering program across the board. </p>
<p>[University</a> of Washington](<a href=“http://www.washington.edu/]University”>http://www.washington.edu/)</p>
<p>The bioengineering program for undergraduates is ranked 12th in the nation.</p>
