<p>because of your excellent act score you should have a good chance at all of these schools. umich might be a slight reach because of your gpa, but again your act should compensate

<p>thanks!</p>

<p>UCincinnati and Akron were schools that I have as backups in case I can’t get into the other schools.</p>

<p>In terms of Job Placement and Co-Ops: How much does the location of the school matter, particularly for aerospace engineering? And does anyone have any idea of the Job placement rates for these schools (particularly: Purdue, Embry Riddle, UAHuntsville, and UIllinois)</p>

<p>If not, can someone give me tips on where to find this information?</p>
