Schools

Applying to all RD, trying to look for something near Illinois

Safety: already got one, in-state

Target: Virginia Tech, Penn State

in-between: UW-Madison, Purdue

Reach: UIUC (applied test optional), UMich

I am looking for any more targets that are decent, once again preferring in Illinois or neighboring states. Prefer urban areas, no financial limit, not interested in Greek life/politics/activities. Please give any suggestions or chance me.

The safety has EE and/or NE? Virginia Commonwealth University is the only Virginia public with NE.

NE is the more limiting major, since there are not that many ABET-accredited programs for it compared to EE. Around Illinois not already on your list is Missouri University of Science and Technology.

3

The Nuclear Engineering program is part of the Mechanical Engineering Department at Virginia Tech.
