U MN is the top engineering program in the group. It is also the most difficult admit with 90% of their frosh scoring 28+ on the ACT along with high grades.

The rest are all pretty easy admits. Of those, Iowa State has the top engineering program followed roughly by Iowa, KU, and Mizzou.

In the region, I would also look at Purdue, U Nebraska, Ohio State, Michigan State, Miami (OH).

Mizzou makes it really easy to get instate tuition after frosh year. Check their website.

Nebraska offers great scholarship to make it pretty cheap for good OOS students.

Iowa State has a really low OOS cost (about $29,000 per year) and also offers lots of scholarships to OOS students. Many IL residents find it is subtantially cheaper to attend ISU over U IL.
