Focus on grades and essays. I’m thinking Pitt or Delaware as matches. Delaware is known as a pretty good Chem E school. Maybe Lehigh, Bucknell, or Lafayette if she wants a smaller, private school. If she’s looking for something a little different maybe NC State. It’s one of my favorites.
Going through the process this year. Amazing how competitive it is. Focus on safety and match schools. It’s easy to find reach schools. Knowing what I know now I’d cap the number of apps between 6-8…or less. Too much work and angst. Do research up front and keep it simple. It’s a marathon, not a sprint.
