<p>Haha sorry, will be 4 years of cross-country and track by the time I graduate. Unless you count middle school… then it will be 6.</p>

3

<p>Georgia Tech, MIT, University of Virginia, Carnegie Mellon University</p>

4

<p>Bucknell and the ones mentioned above. The other choices will be further north. Schools like Rose Hulman, Case Western, RPI, Purdue.</p>

<p>Thanks for the replys! I will look into these schools, however, I feel like some of them are pretty large reaches.</p>

<p>Most of them are reaches for you. You have the best shot at Purdue.</p>

7

<p>I think Virginia would be a large reach. Have you considered looking at the UNC school system?</p>

<p>I have looked into NC State but not UNC. I thought UNC didn’t have an engineering program??</p>
