I know what to tell him. Thanks!</p>
<p>A student does not need a superhigh ACT score and GPA to get TOPS award.
TOPS opportunity (the regular one) only requires a student to have at least 20 in his/her ACT and 2.5 GPA. It is a very attractive program.</p>

I know about their football scandal, but it is still a good school though. Maybe they have a good engineering program as well as recruitment because it is a big name school.
However, US News also shows the percentage of students major in different programs. If it is a school’s popular major, it should be good at recruitment as well.

I don’t see their percentage because it must be smaller than 6%. It would be stupid to go to a business school for engineering program, unless he would be working for a business company that has a computer department.

There are 9% students studying engineering. So I think LSU would be better for him.</p>
<p>Yeah, they might be promoting their programs, but still it is a small major. So what do you think?</p>
<p>I don’t think many private schools try to get many instate students though, as Tulane has a high percentage of Northeastern students. I think it’s public schools that try to get many in state students.
