2

<p>GeorgiaTech
Penn State - University Park
WPI
Minnesota-Twin Cities
Maryland << Not sure about that one</p>

3

<p>University of Texas-Austin - top 10
Carnegie Mellon - very good in electrical & computer engineering
University of Illinois - an all round great engineering school</p>

4

<p>Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, also a top engineering school</p>

5

<p>Rose-Hulman. It’s really a fast rising star and needs female applicants.</p>

6

<p>I second RH</p>

7

<p>virginia tech, if you wanna goto a school in the middle of nowhere.</p>

8

<p>I second WPI (I’m taking classes there now, so if you have any questions I can answer them for you), and RPI.</p>

<p>Also Georgia Tech</p>

9

<p>Go to Cali, best environment!</p>

<p>Cal Poly San Luis Obispo
UCB
UCLA
UCSD
Harvey Mudd</p>

10

<p>-------------usc</p>

11

<p>Forget all about UCs if you’re applying this year.</p>

<p>US’s deadline has already passed.</p>

12

<p>I third Rose-Hulman! :wink: Very easy application, very few female students so they definitely need more, and selected as #1 engineering school in the country among schools that do not offer the PhD degree in the U.S. News and World report.</p>

<p>Also see <a href=“The Rose Hulman Institute of Technology (StudentsReview) - College Reviews Summary, Student Opinion, Tuition, Application, Sports”>The Rose Hulman Institute of Technology (StudentsReview) - College Reviews Summary, Student Opinion, Tuition, Application, Sports; for more info. :D</p>

<p>i was just about to recommend case western, when i saw that it was already on your list. it is a very good school, and is well known for its engineering program. i have a cousin there who will graduate in june of 2005. because she took some summer classes and extra credits she is graduating in 5 years with a masters in biomedical engineering. with your scores and ECs, you would be a good candidate for cwru. good luck!</p>

14

<p>i got into penn state and purdue with a 1350</p>

15

<p>University of Illinois has the 4th best engineering school in the country, behind MIT, Stanford, and Caltech. </p>

<p>Or so I’ve been told. They could have been LYING to me, or they could have been basing their boast off of only one “ranking”, whereas other lists would rank them lower. Still, they are really good. Purdue is also a good choice.</p>

16

<p>absolutely. my friend got into cornell with a 1340 SAT and similar IIs. biggest EC to speak of was yrbook, and he wasnt even editor. anyone can get in anywhere. on the same token anyone can get rejected anywhere.</p>
