<p>I’m going into my senior year of civil at Texas A&M and am curious about good graduate programs at private schools. I have a 3.86, 780Q, and research experience. I’m kind of tired of the huge state school thing and would like a new experience. I’ve looked at Cornell and Lehigh; are there any others worth looking at?</p>
<p>Cornell, Princeton, Stanford, Caltech come to mind.</p>
<p>I think with the ATLSS program and Fritz lab, Lehigh is the best of the privates.</p>
