<p>Georgia Tech-Also, as a note, your daughter should apply here at least as a match/safety because the admit rate is 70% (though, the program is still in the top-10 for public universities, #1 for industrial engineering, #1-2-3(depending on year) for aeronautical engineering, top-10 for bio engineering, etc… so, it’s well rounded), and the 70M-30F gender ratio makes it really easy for women to get great scholarships; and, after one year, she can declare residence in GA and attain the HOPE scholarship (tuition, fees, and a small book stipend are provided FREE as long as she maintains a 3.0+ average) There is a heavy workload, but it has one of the most sociable student bodies so it isn’t “all work, no play.”</p>
<p>MIT- Well, it’s MIT so of course I’ll list it, hehe. The environment isn’t so cut-throat. And, despite popular belief, people are sociable (but it isn’t a party school). MIT has a humungous endowment and should probably give you some good financial aid.</p>
<p>Johns Hopkins-Best undergrad bio-engineering program. Not sure about financial aid.</p>
<p>Duke- 2nd best bio-engineering; decent financial aid with large endowment.</p>
