My opinion is this order…VT, Clemson, Auburn, then MSU. Then take money into account which is most likely the exact opposite list. $25000-$40000 debt is not bad for engineers since postgrad degrees aren’t absolutely necessary.

One thing to do is figure out how much the tuition will go up in the next few years and project how much it will be when it’s senior year if you haven’t done this already.

Co-oping is very important for engineering too…is it an option? That will help a lot since those kids make quite a bit. Auburn is great with getting them in excellent Co-ops. No experience with the others in that.

Lastly, what gpa is required to hold merit scholarship? Share what you find since we are looking at the same schools for 2017. Just being nosy…No GA schools?
