Good Engineering safeties schools

As others have already said, safety schools are the “nuclear option”. It’s the school or list of schools where, if all else failed, you would get into and have no problem affording.

Personally, I would add any state schools or privates to your list where your stats put you above the 75% percentile of students accepted, and where total costs are below (preferably well below) $55k a year.

New Mexico Tech?
University of Arizona?
University of Wyoming?

Just to name a few that I am familiar with. These are all relatively affordable schools with solid engineering programs.
