@crossfitmama - I’m in MN and my son is interested in Chem Eng. There are a lot of cold weather, don’t need awesome stats schools for engineering around here. University of Minnesota Duluth and University of Wisconsin Plateville are two he’s interested in. Really loves Duluth. I wish Iowa State was an option, but we can’t afford the out of state tuition. We’ll probably still apply and see what they offer, but I don’t think it will be much, if anything.
I’m also going to go back and read some of the threads suggested on here. My son does pretty well in school and with the testing, but all the intense competition is foreign to me…and frankly meaningless as we’re not applying to anything more competitive than U of M - Twin Cities and if he doesn’t get in there, oh well. It’s not his first choice school anyhow.
