Just curious, if the answer was yes from Michigan, would he have gone?
I guess i’m trying to understand why the gap year? It’s one of the lower paying engineering disciplines - and for example, UCONN as a school that reports, has not much a different median than Michigan ($5K delta). It’s more likely the job location than the school.
UMass is strong - so that was a great admit. I hope he didn’t take the gap year just because the name wasn’t big enough but what’s done is done. But I hope he doesn’t pass again if that’ the best option for him.
Dartmouth is the one that confuses - they don’t have the major in engineering so if he wants that then I would remove. But they do have the Biomedical Sciences Engineering Major which doesn’t appear to be accredited per the Dartmouth or ABET websites.
