<p>Rowan for engineering, don’t know about CS. Drexel for both. And of course Rutgers.</p>

<p>Rutgers New Brunswick? Solid engineering school.</p>

4

<p>Rutgers and other NJ state universities which have your majors (see [ABET</a> -](<a href=“http://www.abet.org%5DABET”>http://www.abet.org) ) should be on your list.</p>

<p>I had forgot that Rutgers was a solid engineering school…How much aid do you think I could get from these schools based on my stats?</p>

<p>Hey Guys! I’m really thinking about applying to Stevens Tech…and going into their summer program for engineering. But it costs around 42k a year and I don’t think i will be able to cover that with my current status? any help?</p>

<p>Rutgers and Rowan will be your least expensive best engineering choices and I guess NJIT (but I’m not fond of Newark). No idea on how much aid you could get. You would have to ask in those forums what others have gotten.</p>

<p>Try putting “net price calculator” in each school’s search box and using it to estimate financial aid.</p>
