Erin’s Dad has an excellent point for you to consider.

Any ABET engineering program is going to be rigorous. You will have to study hard, and this would be true even if you had absolutely perfect stats. It’s a tough major (I speak from experience!)

I’m just going to throw out there that choices of schools around existence of a frat and lacrosse team might play less of a role than you think. You won’t have a lot of time for frat parties. You won’t have a lot of time for a sport that requires you to travel (club sport that you can drop into might be doable, though.) Seriously - it is a demanding major. One is hard-pressed to finish the program in 4 years with taking a full load. Some of your professors may expect three hours of homework a night, two nights a week. It’ll cut into your play time/social life in a major way.

Best of luck to you regardless of where you end up deciding to go to college.
