<p>What are some small schools (preferably the eastern half of the united states) that have good chemical engineering programs. I don't have the grades for the top tier MIT, Columbia, Princeton, etc. But anything on the next level down would be good for me. my ACT is a 29 (hoping to get a 30+ next time) and my WGPA is a 4.12 UGPA is a 3.75. Taking several AP classes, mostly honors classes besides that. I have been looking at several larger schools like Georgia Tech, Virginia Tech, Clemson, and University of Tennessee (i live here). I would like to include a couple of more small schools to my list to see how i like them. If you have any info on the larger schools I listed or any new ideas for smaller schools letm e know. Thanks.</p>
<p>Check out Lafayette College in easton PA. Very nice campus, well rated ChemE program.</p>
<p>Look at the University of Tulsa.</p>
<p>Northwestern, esp if you are interested in biochemical/biotech.</p>
<p>Rose-Hulman and Case Western Reserve. Rose-Hulman is like a liberal arts college for scientists, and people are happy and well-educated there. They’re not into weed-out classes, but they help the people who get in to get through. Case Western is a small science-focused full university.</p>
<p>You didn’t list any financial or weather restrictions so I’ll throw in Bucknell. Rochester Inst Tech, and Rensselaer.</p>
<p>Well, it’s not in the eastern half of the country (neither is Tulsa), but it is small and highly respected, Trinity University in San Antonio. A 29 ACT is the exact mid-ACT for the school, but maybe engineering is higher, I don’t know. They offer ChemE, ElecE and MechE. There are about ~2500 undergrads and they just broke ground on the new $100 million science center. ABET since the 1960s. COA ~$42,000. Very competetive DIII sports, beautiful campus.</p>
<p>Rowan University in Glassboro, New Jersey.</p>
<p>Olin ftwww</p>
<p>Cooper Union. Free, elite, & practical. What can you ask more?</p>
<p>Olin and Cooper Union are in the same class as MIT, and probably significant reaches for the OP (and most people for that matter). Olin doesn’t have Chem Eng, but Materials Eng.</p>
<p>Ditto Rose Hulman and Lafayette. Also look at Clarkson.</p>
<p>Lehigh is worth looking at, but it may be a little more selective than you are looking for.</p>
<p>let me know if you have any questions about Clemson!!</p>
<p>Bucknell has a very strong ChemE program</p>
<p>U Delaware has about 15K undergrads so it’s more mid size but your stats fit well and it has an excellent Chem E program.</p>

<p>UCONN, not a smaller school, Clarkson & RPI already mentioned above.<br>
UNH, UVM also other New England flagships to consider.</p>
