<p>i have a shortlist, but i need independent opinion</p>
<p>UW GPA: ~3.6-3.8
SAT: ~2000

<p>(speculative)</p>
<p>You should really give us a lot more information than that.</p>
<p>Study?
Location?
Size?
Environment?</p>
<p>engineering
anywhere
any size (i prefer small…altgh i will happily go to a big one)
any (i prefer rural)</p>
<p>i don’t want to go to a school that is too expensive</p>
<p>What is your class rank (precentage approximation) and how strong is your HS?</p>
<p>and what is your shortlist so far, if you don’t mind me asking?</p>
<p>Although this might be a reach for you, I would look at Rice University in Houston, Texas. They are well-known for their engineering/science programs. It is also a small school, enrolling only 3200 undergrads.</p>
<p>I was thinking Bucknell up until you mentioned school expense. It meets your other criteria but it is expensive. Clemson is larger but offers a strong engineering program and is rural. Most importantly, it is considered a value by todays standards.</p>
