Match HS Junior Daughter with CS/Electrical Eng

If you’re looking at the state of Washington, then I’d take a look at these ABET-accredited schools:

  • Seattle U.: about 4200 undergrads
  • Seattle Pacific: about 2600 undergrads
  • Gonzaga (in Spokane): about 5k undergrads

If expanding the geographic parameters, then these are some other schools you may want to consider (which echo several suggestions that have already been made):

  • Bradley (IL): About 4300 undergrads
  • Carnegie Mellon (PA ): About 7k undergrads
  • Johns Hopkins (MD): About 6100 undergrads
  • Manhattan (NY): About 3200 undergrads…I think @Bill_Marsh might be able to provide additional insight on this one.
  • Rensselaer Polytechnic (NY): About 5600 undergrads
  • Stevens Institute of Technology (NJ): About 4k undergrads
  • U. of Denver (CO): About 5900 undergrads
  • U. of Rochester (NY): About 6600 undergrads…does she want to join her sibling?
  • Wentworth (MA): About 4k undergrads
  • Worcester Polytechnic (MA): About 5200 undergrads

Schools like Lehigh, Trinity, Union,and Lafayette are all smaller schools that have ABET-accredited engineering, but I have heard comments about a heavier Greek presence at some of them. They may be worth investigation to see whether the type of Greek life present (which is still a minority of the population and quite possibly very different than Greek life at SEC schools) would work for her.
