<p>I'm new here and i'm applying for public engineering schools. My grades aren't too good(GPA 3.0 and I have no rank due to recently transfering about a year ago) so I only plan on applying to GT(Georgia tech) as my reach school and every other school ill be applying to are public engineering schools.</p>

<p>I wanna be an Aeronautical engineer and I hope SUNy is a good school. If not can you please name some good public universities?</p>

<p>I wanna know though how hard is engineering such as Mechanical and aeronautical? I ask because I wanna know if i'll be able to meet chicks and do stuff. I have no problem spending a couple hours in the book but I don't want it to be the entire college experience.</p>

<p>Mmm a live one :3</p>

<p>guess i’ll wait till tommorow</p>

<p>bump? same question here.</p>

<p>Go Bulls!!!</p>

<p>Son is at UB in engineering. Very, very happy. Great program. He is a freshman and has joined the robotics club and aeronautical engineering clubs, both which meet weekly.</p>

<p>Other publics that come to mind are VTech, IU, Penn State, Michigan State, Purdue, Delaware, etc… Check out the USNWR ranking for some schools. I’d stay in the 50+ ranking though for your GPA. It is a tough major and you may not want to go in as the bottom of the pile!!!</p>

<p>Good luck to you.</p>

<p>So staying below those 50 is good? But I wanna apply to UF and UCF also?</p>

<p>Wht about Georgia Tech is it within my reach at all?</p>

<p>I had a 3.06 at a prestigious public high school and I got a 2020 on the SAT. I got into Purdue, Virginia Tech, Clemson, Pitt, UMass and Northeastern’s engineering program.</p>

<p>If you want to get into a good engineering college, you’ll need high SAT/ACT scores. I would also recommend that you not go to a top top engineering college but go somewhere that is reputable yet is also a place that you think you can get good grades and succeed because of your past track record.</p>

<p>I currently attend Clemson University as a student in the freshman general engineering program. I find that if you are willing to put in the hours to study and get help when needed (and manage your time!) you’ll have time to succeed in classes and have time to get the whole college experience</p>

<p>Well I’m not really rich so going around taking tours is only availible to me by school trips and open houses.</p>

<p>Online seems to be the only place I can go to get really good info.</p>

<p>Is GT out of my reach? I think I can get around a 1900-2000 on my SAT will that make my GPA look a little better to them?</p>

<p>Instead of opening another thread I’ll just ask the question in this one.</p>

<p>How good is UB’s Aerospace program?</p>

<p>SUNY Buffalo (commonly known as UB) is probably about as good as you’re gonna get anywhere in the country as far as public schools go. However, unlike some other schools, for engineering and many sciences, a lot of freshmen can’t get in the program and wind up going undecided for the first year in hopes of getting accepted into the program in the second year. However, many wind up not making the cut, resulting in their need to transfer out after the first year. And for some, whether they transfer out or even remain, they might not get everything they needed for the first year, resulting in more than just 3 additional years. Fortunately, this didn’t happen to me. </p>

<p>Also, FYI, class sizes can get pretty big at UB, which can add to difficulty.</p>
