<p>The characteristics these schools have in common seem to be:</p>

<ul>
<li>Small (but PINYU is now part of the much larger NYU).</li>
<li>Engineering focused.</li>
<li>In or near New York city.</li>

<p>@ucbalmunus thanks a lot! Do you have any personal recommendations from
that list…? Which have similar sat scores and such to stevens and nyu poly?</p>

8

<p>I’d add Manhattan College to the list</p>

<p>And @Happysteve‌ – you can google class profile of each school, check in some college guide books, and/or check your HS Naviance system to get average stats for each college.</p>

<p>Olin, Case Western Reserve, RPI, Kettering.</p>

<p>@cle4life‌ what is your opinion on RPI? Is it harder to get into than stevens and nyu or around the same?</p>

11

<p>RPI is almost exclusively engineering, certainly what they are known for and are predominantly an undergraduate school. NYU is more of a traditional with broad offerings with a more substantial graduate program. RPI has slightly lower statistics. I don’t know much about Stevens. On the list I mentioned Kettering is certainly easier. It is well regarded as an undergraduate school and the coop is a nice aspect. </p>

<p>@cle4life okay thanks!</p>

RPI, Stevens and WPI are very similar to each other - visiting is the only way to differntiate

As stated above, WPI and RPI are similar in terms of admissions statistics and they’re both engineering focused. They’re not in huge/exciting cities. I don’t know if that’s important to you.
