<p>I am a high school sophomore looking for a small engineering school that is not highly selective. I am interested in computer engineering and my current GPA is a 3.5. Here are some that I already know about and know I most likely won't be competitive for.
Rose-Hulman
Olin
Cooper Union
Harvey Mud
Anyone have any others?</p>

<p>If you’re looking for help - be patient - and you really should give a few more details. Test scores, financial situation, preferred part of the country are all important.</p>
<p>And BTW - I don’t think a 3.5 GPA disqualifies you from rose hulman.
And of course the big question - why limit yourself to small schools? My D chhecked out a lot of engineering shcools, including rose Hulman, and her 2nd choice was Iowa State.</p>
<p>good luck.</p>
<p>define “small”. is 3.5 unweighted or weighted? If weighted, what is your unweighted score?</p>
<p>WPI? 10char</p>
<p>Yes, WPI. Also, RPI and Stevens.</p>
<p>I agree with nugraddad, don’t write off Rose-Hulman.</p>
<p>Lafayette College ¶, Union College (NY), Trinity College (CT), Clarkson (NY)</p>
<p>Why do you want small?</p>
<p>My son altered his list a lot once he was able to focus on why he wanted a “small” school. In the end, he really wanted small classes, something he could find at some larger universities.</p>
<p>Sorry about that patience thing; you’re absolutely right.</p>
<p>Look at the schools in Michigan:</p>
<p>[Kettering</a> University](<a href=“http://www.kettering.edu/]Kettering”>http://www.kettering.edu/)
[Michigan</a> Technological University](<a href=“http://www.mtu.edu/]Michigan”>http://www.mtu.edu/)</p>
<p>The last one is a personal favorite of mine - way off the beaten path, but definitely worth a look if you have a sense of adventure!</p>
<p>There’s also this one, which I know nothing about:</p>
<p>[Lawrence</a> Technological University (LTU) | University in Detroit](<a href=“http://www.ltu.edu/]Lawrence”>http://www.ltu.edu/)</p>
<p>You can also check the list of schools that are members of the [American</a> Society for Engineering Education](<a href=“http://profiles.asee.org/]American”>http://profiles.asee.org/). It’s a long list - be prepared to spend some time going through it! For each school, you can see, among other things, the school’s “areas of expertise.” which should be useful in helping you narrow things down.</p>
<p>Oh, almost forgot - you should also take a look at two of the Alabama schools:</p>
<p>[UA</a> Birmingham - UAB School of Engineering](<a href=“Error 404 | Not Found”>Home - School of Engineering)
[UA</a> Huntsville](<a href=“http://www.uah.edu/]UA”>http://www.uah.edu/)</p>
<p>Both are smaller and offer great scholarships for out-of-state students - both automatic (based purely on stat’s) and competitive. (Here are the scholarship pages for [Huntsville[/url</a>] and [url=<a href=“Error 404 | Not Found”>Error 404 | Not Found]Birmingham](<a href=“http://www.uah.edu/financial-aid/aid/scholarships/new-freshmen/non-residents-merit-awards]Huntsville[/url”>http://www.uah.edu/financial-aid/aid/scholarships/new-freshmen/non-residents-merit-awards)</a>.) My son visited both - really, really liked Huntsville, and didn’t so much care for Birmingham because of its urban campus, but other students absolutely rave about their undergrad engineering experiences at Birmingham, so that’s a personal taste thing. Both schools offer great undergrad research opportunities, and summer jobs and internships are plentiful.</p>
<p>By the way, it’s Harvey Mudd, not Mud.</p>
<p>You haven’t given enough information but I have seen successful applicants at [Illinois</a> Institute of Technology](<a href=“http://www.iit.edu%5DIllinois”>http://www.iit.edu) which is also a member of [Association</a> of Independent Technological Universities: AITU](<a href=“http://theaitu.org%5DAssociation”>http://theaitu.org) like many of the others mentioned above.</p>
<p>Also Case Western. And although your bump was too impatient, I love it!</p>
<p>University of Dayton
Illinois institute of technogy</p>
<p>Gonzaga and University of Portland out west - both smaller Catholic universities with engineering schools. A primarily technical place like RPI, even though it has only 5000 students, will be loaded with engineers so the classes can still be fairly large.</p>
<p>Thanks GreekMom. Again, sorry about that.</p>
