Undergrad engineering to transfer

Transfer Students
1

<p>Hi All,</p>

<p>I've been looking at undergrad engineering programs to transfer into. A major part of my decision is an urban or vibrant campus, exciting things to do, and a larger environment. I currently go to a liberal arts college with a very good reputation, and so the advice I got was only to "transfer up". </p>

<p>Right now I've already written apps to:</p>

<p>MIT, Columbia, Penn</p>

<p>I'm looking at places like:</p>

<p>Cornell, Stanford, Yale, UCB, Hopkins. (Stanford is just really good at bioengineering, not necessarily urban)</p>

<p>I specifically want to do bioengineering or some flavor of it (eg at hopkins there's biochemical and there's biomechanics, both would be very cool)</p>

<p>I understand that there are very low acceptance rates for transfers, so I am looking around to see what I can find. Apart from the list above, are there places that are very reputable and have and urban environment that I have failed to find?</p>

<p>What do your college stats look like? Also SAT scores because almost all of the schools on your list require them. Most importantly how much are you able to pay?</p>

<p>Urban environment and top engineering program/school, I think you have to add Carnegie Mellon and Georgia Tech!</p>

<p>@jman: I’ll definitely do some more research! Thanks</p>

<p>@invader: My SATs are decent, 2100, with better ACTs (33). For the foreseeable future, I won’t require financial aid. Thanks for the feedback</p>

<p>I would second the recommendation of Georgia tech. Another school you should look into is Cooper Union.</p>
