<p>I second the poster that mentioned Lafayette and Lehigh. Both great schools with strong engineering reputations and not that far from home. Also, I think you mentioned that you are from a strong high school? Perhaps you should meet with your counselor. They will have a better idea than CC posters about your class rank and your hs relationship/success with particular schools. Also, most hs guidance prefer students to build their school list from the bottom up and not the top down. Good luck!</p>
