<p>bump...thanks to all who have helped so far</p>

<p>in addition, my class rank is at the 50th percentile, would that help me or hurt me? my high school is among the top 200 high schools in America</p>

3

<p>In addition, I have also taken all AP and Honors classes</p>

<p>sorry, my SAT score is actually 2020</p>

<p>i'm not an expert but form what i've heard and read, (i live in texas btw), texas a&m is amazing! go on wikipedia and check the rankings for its engineering schools
or just google top engineering schools or something
you could probably also check the rankings at princeton review or something</p>

<p>A&M is an excellent program but make sure that you like A&M first; it isn't right for everyone.</p>

7

<p>Where is Georgia Institute of Technology?</p>

8

<p>Atlanta, Georgia</p>

<p>^lol. I think he meant where was it on the OP's list. It should be there, though. Tech's like #5 or something in Civil and his grades/scores are probably good enough to get him in.</p>

<p>Worcester Polytechnic Institute (WPI) is awesome, I'm a freshman there right now, and love it. Its a great school, in MA</p>

<p>bump......</p>

<p>WPI is great. I was there last week for there open house and envision program. LOVED EVERY MINUTE OF IT!!!Applying EA 2!!!</p>

<p>There are LOTS of schools you could look at. Are you looking just at the East Coast? If not, what about places like Michigan, Illinois, Purdue, UCSB, UCSD, Texas-Austin.....</p>

<p>Yeah, I agree with boneh3ad there on Illinois. I think you can get in with your standardized test scores. That's a really really good engineering school and it is currently #1 for Civil Engineering according to U.S. News. I've heard tons of great things about UT-Austin as well.</p>
