Mines is not considered a safety I don’t care what your stats are BUT it is lower priced I think than some of your choices above. Mines has companies wait listed to attend their job fairs and they have a really high job placement rate there. Petroleum engineering is definitely king there. It’s a very small school and it was on my sons list too but he decided not to stay in CO and merit offered was minimal. Only a handful get the big scholarship.
GT is also not a safety but I’ve seen lower stats kids get accepted where higher stats kids didn’t but RD results aren’t out yet, so not sure how acceptance rates pan out. This year they had 45% EA acceptance rate.
What about Texas A&M? Or Univ of Minnesota? Both higher acceptance rates and solid engineering programs.
