Small college vs large college (engineering)

You can become an engineer from either type, one is not “better” than another. A lot of it is your preference of environment. The small schools may be a bit more “hands on”, but you need to check out each one. Selectivity varies widely – some of the schools you listed are very hard to get into (Stanford’s acceptance rate was under 5% this year, I know Mudd was 13%, you can look up CalTech and MIT, both are very low). Just saying it is a whole list of reaches, except R-H. Michigan Tech is a nice mid-sized school to check out, about 5,000 students. A less expensive choice (and probably easier admission than the reaches) would be your state flagship (most have engineering).
