<p>Can you name some private schools with good engineering program?
Carnegie Mellon for example.
Also exclude MIT, Stanford, and any other state schools please.</p>
<p>I also wonder if Vandy is a good engineering school</p>
<p>^ Vandy isn’t known for its engineering, but I think you can get a good engineering education from Vanderbilt.</p>
<p>Other national private universities known for Engineering:
Northwestern
Princeton
Rice
USC
Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute</p>
<p>Private engineering/technical colleges:
Harvey Mudd
Rose Hulman
Olin …</p>
<p>???</p>
<p>I’ve always thought that Vandy had a good engineering program. It may not be like the ones you’ve mentioned, but I’ve known kids who could go anywhere to choose Vandy for engineering. </p>
<p>The question was is it “good”. I would say, “yes”…it is good. Just because it’s not MIT/Cal Tech, does not mean it’s not “good.”</p>
<p>Hmm any schools that I can get accepted with a 2130 and 3.9 GPA?</p>
<p>I would put Rose-Hulman down as a safety. They seem to take almost all qualified to be there and I would say you fit in that group.</p>
<p>I am also looking for schools with generous financial aide. Which is why I am looking for private schools. I hear that rose hilman is weak on financial aide?</p>
<p>I got a my full tuition+fees+room+board covered on merit(+need now that i look at it more merit than need by far though). If I recall though its a free app so it shouldn’t hurt to throw one in and see what they offer. They are usually quick with a response.</p>
<p>same question but I am an international student</p>
<p>Hmm I see. Do you think 2130 with 3.9 UW GPA would be good enough for Northwestern?</p>
<p>CMU and Cornell</p>
<p>Other private schools that can provide a good quality engineering education with merit aid offered for some (and not yet mentioned above):
Case Western Reserve
Washington University - St. Louis
Duke
University of Rochester
WPI
Clemson
Lehigh
Drexel
Boston University
Stevens Institute of Technology
Union
Northeastern
Clarkson</p>
<p>Clemson is a state school</p>
<p>UTPG - rose hulman -I got a my full tuition+fees+room+board covered on merit+need. Now that i look at it more merit than need by far though).</p>
<p>??? I thought RH never gave more than 1/2 tuition for merit only.</p>
<p>What merit-only scholarships did you get from RH? </p>
<p>Did you get some private scholarships or what? </p>
<p>What were your stats?</p>
<p>Yes, Clemson is a state school.</p>
<p>BTW…why are you excluding any state schools?</p>
<p>What is your SAT breakdown?</p>
<p>Will your parents pay for wherever you go? Or will you need and qualify for financial aid?</p>
<p>Manhattan College in New York will THROW money at you. They have a FABULOUS engineering program that is very well respected. Its a small school of very tight nit people, with a solid well rounded education. Good people are at Manhattan College…really good people.</p>
<p>Princeton’s chemical engineering is about the same as Northeastern’s. I was surprised to learn that most Ivies were not ranked in the top 20 when it came to engineering.</p>
<p>What did you get on the SATs?</p>
<p>“And I need whatever aid I can get. My dad’s income is below 30,000 so yeah”.</p>
<p>It sounds like you need to reconsider some of these schools you are looking at.</p>
<p>Some less selective publics will give generous merit scholarships. Purdue and Texas A&M come to mind.</p>
