You mentioned it wasn’t as much as I thought - I was just wondering if it was the $25K or less - to give OP an idea.
We still (I don’t think) have a profile of OP other than now looking for engineering schools in certain areas.
The Florida publics will be cheapest followed by Florida Tech and Embry Riddle. The thing with FSU is their engineering campus is “off campus”. That, and he mentioned private which in engineering is limiting to a certain respect although many more in the NE as mentioned such as WPI, RPI, Rochester, Syracuse, etc.
In CA, it will range from USC, the jesuit/catholic (USC, LMU, etc.) to Pacific and more.
A lot depends on the OPs stats, etc.
A lot depends on “additional” scholarships not everyone applies to.
If we had an idea of stats and desired budget (but you have to be flexible geographically), we could point in a direction.
If one wants to spend $20-25K and are full pay, then one needs to target those schools that hit that price point for students with certain stats.
If the desire is to spend $50K or $60K, that opens up a lot wider set of choices.
