It is December 1st, and I still need to apply to schools.

College Search & Selection

<p>Hello Everyone,
I am currently freaking out due to the fact that I am approaching the regular decision deadlines, and have no idea where to apply. I want to major in environmental engineering, which most schools that offer engineering also offer environmental engineering. I have a 93 gpa and a 30 on the ACT with good E.C.s, I would really appreciate it if some of you on here could tell me some good schools with that major. Thank You!</p>

<p>It’s hard to give suggestions without more information: what location are you looking for? Urban or rural? East coast or west? How large of a school do you want? How much can you afford? </p>

3

<p>What’s your home state? How much, if any, financial aid will be required? Do you prefer public or private universities? </p>

<p>Here are the 68 ABET-accredited programs in environmental engineering:</p>

<p>You can begin here, but @TopTier’s question about how much aid your family needs, whether it should be need-based or merit-based, will determine where you can go.</p>

<p>I need to have a tuition of equal to or less than $30,000 per year. </p>

<p>@lgcollege‌: Is that <$30K only for tuition, or is it for all costs (tuition, room, board, books, fees, etc.)? The incremental difference could easily be $15+K annually. </p>

<p>I think I qualify for financial aid for alot of schools, but I would like to stay under $40,000 for all costs</p>

<p>In that case, your first place to check out is your state flagship to see if it offers EnvE (is that how we abbreviate it?). That also means that a lot of other OOS flagships and publics are going to be in play. The SUNYs come in around 32K OOS, and UMD-CP, Pitt, and Penn State for instance come in at around 45K, 43K, and 48K. Both Pitt and UMD might be interested in giving you a little merit to bring you inside 40K (PSU will not). The UCalifornias will not offer you any aid of any kind and will cost you around 53K; so for UColorado, although they might give you 5K. We really need you to offer us some regions we can rule out or in.</p>

<p>Why do you think you would qualify for a lot of FA if your family can pay $40k per year</p>

<p>I am not stuck to one region, but would prefer to stay east coast and an undergraduate enrollment of >10,000 </p>

<p>I would have to take out loans to pay for whatever they cant pay</p>

<p>I think we’ve given you a good place to start, then: public flagships to check out (Delaware, UConn, etc.), and then smaller unis that offer EnvE can be found on the ABET list I gave you (Lehigh, Clarkson, etc.). Pull a list together and run the net price calculators; throw out the ones you cannot afford and voila!</p>
