<p>Biggest drawback of a 3/2 program is leaving your friends. A 4/1 program would probably be a better way to go. I also think it’s a stretch for a 3.0 high school kid to do well in engineering but often you find kids turning around in college so who knows. I think the LAC idea is probably a good one. It gives her options outside of engineering if that doesn’t work out for her. I did a search for someone else on LAC with engineering programs and there were 60 schools across the country with some kind of program. Not all schools show up on all searches though. Do you have geographic limitations?</p>
