<p>With an SAT score 200 points below average, I wouldn’t put GT in the “match list”. </p>

<p>It would depend on how you define a “good” engineering program. I’ve known many Villanova grads that were all very good engineers. I would definitely list it as one of the better Northeastern engineering programs. </p>
<p>Now, can it compete with the other major schools in attracting employers? That’s up for debate. It doesn’t have the size factor of a Penn State or a Rutgers and it doesn’t have the brand name of an MIT, or CMU. Before deciding for or against Villanova, I would contact their career services department and ask for statistics on the number of offers / student that graduated the last 3 years, the average reported salaries, the percentage of students employed at graduation, etc. then compare that to other schools on his list.</p>
