Need help selecting a very good engineering school

College Search & Selection
1

<p>Hello, I am looking to major in mechanical engineering, but I do not know which of these colleges are very good for engineering. My dream is to go to graduate school in MIT so I need to know which of these colleges will look good on my transcript to MIT, Stanford and the Ivy leagues.</p>

<p>I am thinking of:</p>

<p>Carnegie Mellon
Lehigh
Villanova
Franklin and Marshall - dual degree program in 5 years
Rutgers in New Brunswick
TCNJ
NYU
Drexel
Lafayette College
Bucknell University
Penn State</p>

<p>Right now my dream school is Carnegie Mellon and my reach/matches are Lehigh and Villanova. So if I choose to go to Lehigh, Villanova, CMU or any of the others listed, which one or ones will look the best for an elite graduate school? Thanks in advance</p>

<p>Bucknell, Lafayette are amazing schools too. I personally don't like Rutgers, F&M(they don't have an engineering school).</p>

<p>If you're a Pennsylvania resident, it might be best just to save money to pay for MIT by going to Penn State for undergrad...</p>

<p>If you're not a resident, Carnegie Mellon and Bucknell would probably be good choices.</p>
