<p>Well thanks for the answers guys. To sum it up, I do agree that there’s little hope for a person looking for generous financial aid. That’s why I am keeping my safeties with an admit rate of 15%(how self-contradictory is that?!? He he.) But I got some great suggestions here. Thanks a lot. Now it’s back to making a college list.
Well, since the engineering issue at liberal arts colleges popped up, I was wondering what UG majors could lead to a graduate program in nuclear engineering? In other words, if I get into a college that doesn’t offer nuclear engineering to undergrads, which major should I go for? Physics? Mechanical Engineering? Should I repost this in a new thread?
And the colleges that have been spoken of here, like Vassar, Oberlin, Trinity, Macalester etc. Does my profile seem decent enough to get into schools?A lot depends on essays, recos, etc but just looking superficially, are these colleges really in my reach?</p>
