<p>Okay so my academic stats/test scores are good but my ECs are somewhat lacking. I’m interested in engineering. This is my list so far : - </p>
<p>MIT
RPI
Rice
Purdue
Princeton
Cooper’s Union
Columbia
Stanford</p>
<p>Are there any good schools that are more focused on stats?</p>
<p>bump (10 char)</p>
<p>big universities tend to put more emphasis on stats.</p>
<p>id have to agree with dchow, although at some point you need to differentiate yourself, so why not just get to work on some great ECs?? its worth a shot in my opinion…</p>
<p>Well my ECs aren’t as bad as I made them out to be initially. I have quite a few it’s just that I have nothing spectacular(that will make me stand out) in my ECs.</p>

<p>bump again~~~</p>
<p>What type of engineering are you looking for? Big names schools aren’t that good in engineering, i.e harvard for example. I would put UC-Berkley, Cal-Tech and Georgia Tech to your list.</p>
<p>I’m looking for Materials/Computer/Chemical Engineering and/or Computer Science. I under stand what you say about the big name schools but don’t the big name schools on my list have strong engineering programs?</p>
<p>anyone?(10 char)</p>
<p>Purdue’s engineering program is amazing.</p>
<p>Northwestern has very strong chemical and material sciences/engineering.</p>
<p>Cornell, yes?</p>
<p>I’ve added some schools. What do you guys think?</p>
<p>MIT
RPI
Rice
Purdue
Princeton
Cooper’s Union
Columbia
Stanford
U Miami
Cornell
CMU
Georgia Tech
Northwestern</p>
<p>But that’s alot of colleges and it seems very reach heavy :(</p>
<p>bump (10char)</p>
<p>U of Minnesota-Twin Cities is very atats oriented.</p>
<p>UW-Madison is also mostly stats driven if you aren’t from WI/MN/IL, but EC’s are almost more important.</p>
<p>Why not add U of Illinois to the list, for engineering?</p>
