Pros/Cons of college 3/2 programs?

<p>In order successfully to complete a 3/2 program, a student has to:</p>

<p>(1) complete all requirements for a 4-year degree in 3 years
(2) do the above with a high enough GPA to be accepted into the 2-yr. portion of the 3/2 program
(3) beat out other candidates to earn a spot in the 2-yr. part of the program (some are guaranteed entry, but others are quite competitive!)
(4) say goodbye to friends at the end of the 3 years, and
(5) figure out how to fund those last two years!</p>

<p>Financial aid awarded at the 3-yr. school may or may not carry over to the first year at the 2-yr. school . . . but it definitely won’t carry over to the 2nd year.</p>

<p>There are a lot of engineering programs around the country . . . find one that your daughter can get into and graduate from and that’s affordable for your family.</p>
