Any suggestions for colleges?

Seems like a good list, with the whole range of reaches, safeties, generous merit-aid schools and good in-state options.

If you haven’t already considered and ruled out Rice, it might be a good one to add - good Bioengineering and pre-health, great student quality-of-life with a residential college system, and a full-pay “sticker price” around $15K/year less than private peer schools. (Some merit available too - not as much as at CWRU, USC, and Vandy, but then again that $15K discount is already built in.) Also many nonstops per day between Dulles and Houston.

Do you hope to combine engineering and dentistry, or are you figuring it will be either/or? If the former, you might want to look into some of the research that is being done and see what interests you, as that might give you more ideas about what opportunities you hope to find at your undergraduate school. Maybe consider steering toward the nanoscience and materials end of your engineering field, since there are so many potential applications in dental technology.
