<p>okay, I know notihng about buisness, but there are tons of small tech schools.. A lot of places mentioned here, actually:
RPI, Stevens, Rose-Hulman, lehigh, cal-poly as you mentioned. Of course, these schools may be terrible at buisness, I dont know. Rice is much kinder to OOS-ers <em>grrrr! stealing my spot at rice!</em> and from what I've heard they are really into kids with strong ECs. Of course I think all of the places I am applying are wonderful.<br>
if you just want the algorithm for how I found places to apply:
make a prioritized list of things about college. section 1 is "If the school doesn't have it I could never look at applying" section 2 is "I really want this but if everything else is perfect it wouldnt matter" and section 3 is "this would be really cool" ... Then haunt princetonreview.com and (I highly suggest) "the insider's guide to the colleges". Don't go by the 'whats important to you?' type lists on places like princetonreview.com, though. Don't even look at them. Only select things that immediately come to mind.</p>
<p>I hope that was at least somewhat helpful.</p>
