<p>Recommend me some engineering colleges, just to see what people think.</p>

<p>3.64(4.23) GPA
17 Honors/AP Classes
AP Tests taken so far: Chemistry-5,USH-5,Computer Science A-5, European History-4, English Language-4
32 ACT
8 Years Ice Hockey
SATII:780 USH, 740 Math2, 730 Chemistry</p>

<p>Live in CA</p>

<p>Preferably cheaper colleges or merit aid</p>

<p>Says 32 ACT and GPA at top.</p>

<p>Medium-Large Colleges, rural/urban doesn’t matter
No care for Greek Life, I guess I would prefer it to not dominate.
Need will be a must and merit is always nice.
Division 1 Ice Hockey is a big turn on, otherwise I don’t care too much.</p>

<p>bump bumpppp</p>

<p>Cooper Union in New York City is free I believe. However, its acceptance rate is less than 10%.</p>

5

<p>Georgia Tech, Cornell, UC Berkeley, I guess. Not sure how cheap Georgia Tech and Cornell would be for you, I don’t know your parents’ income bracket, so yeah. But look into those three schools, sorry I couldn’t recommend more, bit busy.</p>

<p>I hear Ivies give great aid anyway. Thanks for input. Anyone else?</p>

<p>Hockey & Engineering? Clarkson University (NY) Take a look, must enjoy the frozen tundra of Northern New York… You can fly into Ottawa, Ontario & drive over border… </p>

<p>[Clarkson</a> University](<a href=“http://clarkson.edu/]Clarkson”>http://clarkson.edu/)</p>

<p>Georgia Tech, Cornell, UC Berkeley,</p>

<p>If you’re out of state for GT or Cal, don’t expect much financial help.</p>

<p>Since you’re asking for merit aid…does that mean that your family won’t likely qualify for a lot of need-based aid…so you need merit scholarships to help pay for college?</p>

<p>SUNY Geneseo - small highly selective public LAC in NY</p>

<p>3/2 Program with Columbia University

<p>Good hockey team, SUNY tuition is cheap</p>

10

<p>UC Berkeley, Harvey Mudd, CIT CMU, UWM…but it depends on what type of engineering degree (chemical, mechanical, etc.)</p>

<p>[Mechanical</a> | Rankings | US News](<a href=“http://colleges.usnews.rankingsandreviews.com/best-colleges/rankings/engineering-doctorate-mechanical]Mechanical”>http://colleges.usnews.rankingsandreviews.com/best-colleges/rankings/engineering-doctorate-mechanical)</p>

<p>Figure out your estimated financial aid award (EFC) to get form a good list, so you can eliminate schools that aren’t realistic in terms of cost.</p>

<p>If you live in California, consider several UCs, the Cal Polys, and some other CSUs (e.g. SJSU for CS or EE).</p>

<p>University of Minnesota Twin Cities is a well regarded school for engineering, has NCAA Division I ice hockey, and is lower priced than most out of state public universities (list price of around $29,000 per year for out of state, which is less than in state UC list price, though you are more likely to get financial aid at UC).</p>

<p>University of Wisconsin Madison and University of Michigan Ann Arbor are also well regarded schools for engineering with Division I ice hockey, but are more expensive than University of Minnesota.</p>

<p>Your stats will get you full tuition + $2,500 per year in merit scholarships as an engineering student at University of Alabama (this leaves about $11,500 per year of other expenses):
