<p>If you want to go into engineering you have a good shot at most any school. Perhaps look at UPenn, Cornell, Dartmouth, Princeton, Stanford, CMU and Cooper Union as reach schools (Not sure if you have heard of Cooper Union but it is more selective than all of the Ivies at 8%). For safety consider Colorado School of Mines or Rose Hulman. For a match perhaps Franklin Olin School of Engineering. Amherst is a truly great school but is not ABET acredited which can hurt your job prospects as an engineer.</p>
