<p>And for what it is worth, and this is MY PERSONAL PREFERENCE AND BIAS....., of the schools you list my favorites are as follows:</p>

<ol>
<li><p>Northwestern. But its VERY hard to get in there and very, very cold in the winter.</p></li>
<li><p>Georgia Tech. Its in Atlanta. A fun city, very diverse. Great school with great academics and great social scene and great sports. Its not too liberal and not too conservative and not religious. Its also not too big.</p></li>
<li><p>Purdue. Great engineering school.</p></li>
</ol>

<p>Of these three, my favorite is Georgia Tech. </p>

<p>But again, these are MY preferences and MY bias. You may be completely different.</p>

<p>I am just doing this to show you how easy it is to prioritize schools.</p>

<p>I'm thinking of applying to all these schools. I don't want to take lots of risk. </p>

<p>I think I'm happy with these. These universities are good in engineering and are good generally as well. </p>

<p>And I've sent th scores to all these universities now.</p>

<p>Thank you everyone for all the great advice. Thank you very much.</p>

<p>Also, being OOS is not something the admissions people at private universities consider and even at state universities OOS percentage is more of a function of the fact that why would someone go to a state school somewhere else when they can get a comparable experience in their own state at a better price and with all their friends. There are, of course exceptions to this for excellent state schools, like Georgia Tech and the University of Michigan to give a few examples.</p>
