<p>I'm looking for a college which offers a strong engineering program, because I figure that nearly any school can serve as a stepping stone to a good graduate science or medical school. So first question is, is that solid logic? Second, my list:</p>
<p>1) Stanford (EA)
2) Harvey Mudd
3) University of San Diego
4) University of Miami
5) Carnegie Mellon
6) University of Pennsylvania
7) MIT
8) Olin College
9) Rensselaer Polytech Inst</p>
<p>Colleges that I'm considering adding are University of Michigan and Johns Hopkins. My credentials are good enough to make me competitive anywhere. University of Miami, USD, and RPI are what I consider my safeties. I'm looking for advice on either adding or trimming. Thanks in advance!</p>
