I never dreamed I'd post something like this on the site of my alma mater, but my son, also interested in engineering, was accepted at Duke (Pratt), VaTech, GaTech, and NCSU (where he would have been 3rd generation, including both parents), and rejected all in favor of Clemson. We are in-state, which offers great lottery scholarships intended to help SC keep the best students at home, but it is also a smaller campus than NCSU and VaTech...around 14,000 undergraduates...very pretty and in a mild climate, with a solid engineering program, and committed to excellence...admission stats are more competitive every year. The new CU-ICAR graduate school of automotive engineering will bring even more recognition to the school. They have a great Honors program, and often offer out-of-state tuition waivers to high caliber students. I've been very impressed. My blood runs NCSU red, but my wolfcub decided to go Orange, and I think it was the best choice. Check them out, and good luck!
