I’m interested in studying aerospace or mechanical engineering and i think i would like a school with a co-op program, but i’m not sure if want to go to a “Techy” school. I have a 4.2 weighted gpa with a 2020 sat 1 (plan on retaking in october) and a bunch of APS, and i think i have a shot at some good schools. but I’ve also heard that engineering at the Ivies isn’t that good.

Some schools I’m considering:


Case Western
U of Rochester
Rochester Inst of Tech
Syracuse U
Purdue
MIT
Caltech
U Penn
Cornell
Johns Hopkins
RPI
Northeastern


Anyone have any advice or other schools I should consider?
