<p>My son is interested in Chemical Engineering</p>
<p>He really wants to go to Northeastern, but other schools he will apply to include RIT, SUNY Buffalo and Clarkson.</p>
<p>I've been checking rankings for Chem E schools and SUNY Buffalo is highly ranked AND reasonable priced since we're in-state. Northeastern is expensive and he'd have to take out a lot of loans and it's not as highly ranked. Not sure how much attention I should pay to rankings, though.</p>
<p>Any thoughts on other schools he should apply to? He's got a 3.6 GPA, SATs M710 CR600 W550 he got a 5 on AP Chem and is taking AP Calc and AP Physics this year. No extracurriculars to speak of.</p>
