Good Engineering Schools in Northeast for Average Student

<p>GPA: 3.45
ACT: 27</p>

<p>What are some good engineering schools that are reaches/matches/safeties for me based on my stats?</p>

<p>I’d suggest you google the list of engineering school ratings and find which one have your general stats. URI?</p>

<p>Would URI be a safety or a match?</p>

<p>It’s not the northeast, but how about Florida Institute of Technology, on the Space Coast of Florida.</p>

<p>^Sorry, I am not looking that far</p>

<p>You may want to consider your in-state publics like Rutgers, NJIT, TCNJ, and Rowan, since they are more likely to be reasonably priced than out-of-state publics, or less selective privates, with engineering.</p>

<p>However, some out-of-state publics with engineering do have low out-of-state list prices (but the better known ones are not in the northeast, other than perhaps Stony Brook).</p>

<p>Purdue University is a great school for engineering!</p>

<p>Check out Wentworth Institute of Technology! It’s in Boston and their average ACT is 21-26 so you’re on the high end. URI’s average ACT is 21-25, so it’s pretty close. URI just built a new biomedical engineering building, so if you want to do that it’s really nice.</p>

<p>Wentworth’s only ABET accredited engineering major is electromechanical engineering, though it also has computer science.</p>

<p>Rhode Island has ABET accredited engineering degree programs in most of the usual branches (chemical, civil, computer, electrical, industrial, mechanical, ocean).</p>

<p>But don’t forget to consider cost of attendance. Both will likely be much more expensive than your in-state public universities.</p>

<p>You should look into NJIT and Rutgers, they will be in state, affordable and at the same level as RIU or the like.</p>

<p>What kind of engineering? Mechanical & Undecided at Alfred University (NY) are private programs.</p>

<p>These engineering programs are through NYS at Alfred University (NY):</p>

<p>Biomedical Materials Engineering Science
Ceramic Engineering
Glass Engineering Science
Materials Science and Engineering </p>

<p>Nice small classes-know your professors, Division III Athletics, merit aid, need-based aid, about 2,300 undergrads, no Greek Life, lots of clubs & organizations, housing all 4 years.
Established in 1836, still under $40,000/year, not a 50k plus private school, excellent value!</p>

<p>School of Engineering
College of Liberal Arts
School of Business
School of Art & Design </p>

<p>All students may have cars, shuttle buses to Rochester airport at peak break times, buses to NYC at peak break times, university-sponsored ride service (plenty of NJ kids to get a ride with to get back home for breaks, if you don’t own a car) </p>

<p>What is your home state?</p>

<p>How much will your parents pay? Your stats are in that gray area where they aren’t high enough for large merit scholarships or acceptance into the schools that “meet need.”</p>

<p>NJ</p>

<p>They can pay around 20-25k a year</p>
